Bug Description

Binary package hint: ibus-table

With the old SCIM input method framework, one could use the LaTeX input method (package scim-tables-additional) to enter useful symbols, such as \pi for π and \Pi for Π, but the new IBUS framework seems rather broken. Instead of waiting for a backslash, it triggers immediately -- and then tries, unsuccessfully, to match everything you type.

Thus, you get the following behavior:
