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
- Install and configure
ibusand a CJK input method (saymozc) - Switch to it via
super + tab - 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.
