Dear Kevin,

At

you said that you thought the problem was unique to Unity. It isn't. I've had the garbled iBus input with three machines running gnome-shell.

At first, I used Unity. Then this iBus problem became unbearable, and I started to look around for a solution. Then some people said it wasn't there in gnome-shell, so I moved over, and the thing seemed cured. But it wasn't, and started to reassert itself even in gnome-shell sessions.

Finally, the patched iBus 1.4.0 mentioned here:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/840823/comments/25

seems to fix the problem. I say "seems" because this is such an elusive bug, and although my systems seem to be okay at the moment, I wouldn't be totally surprised if I had problems again.

In my opinion, this is a bug in iBus, not Unity.

Best,
Dominik
