Hi @miaochangq this is a duplicate of #14183. The fix (#14186) will be part of our next release (Spyder 4.2.1)

@miaochangq As for inputting Chinese with fcitx, you need a library called fcitx-qt for this but fcitx-qt is not available in Anaconda. This is discussed in #4120. That issue also contains a possible workaround, but it is a bit complicated.

Thanks @jitseniesen for the info! 👍
