Description

Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.3.13_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFFFF

Package(s) Affected

ibus-1.5.28_2

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

Typing into a GTK based window with an input method (anthy, mozc, libhangul, etc) brings up suggestions based upon typed text

Actual behaviour

No characters come up as if input were simply the default keyboard layout. Switching to a latin keyboard layout instead (say, Spanish) works fine (the colon key types "ñ"').

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install and configure ibus and a CJK input method (say mozc)
  2. Switch to it via super + tab
  3. Start typing in a text entry

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with ibus-1.5.28_2, GTK text entry, and a CJK input method such as mozc, following the listed keyboard-layout steps. The payload names no source files or tests, so trace the Void package and relevant upstream configuration first. Done means input methods produce characters and suggestions with the affected layouts, while the reported Latin-layout behavior remains intact.
