Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Shotcut AppImage on Ubuntu and a Chinese input method. Investigate how the application loads input-method support, including the mentioned libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so file. Done means Chinese text can be entered reliably without manually adding the plugin.
