The riot text bar doesn't work with ibus

[Ekleog]

Description

With ibus (and especially ibus-mozc) installed, trying to type in japanese or to use the ibus emoji selector (alt+maj+e here, though its default mapping appears to depend on parameters unknown to me) end up in either nonsense (for japanese) or just nothing (for emoji). Given ibus-mozc works with pretty much all other text fields I assume it is due to something riot does.

When trying to type in japanese, depending on the typing speed (I think) sometimes text gets input and sometimes not. The typed text usually displays and disappears immediately.

This has happened since I installed riot about a year ago, and I haven't seen a version of riot without this bug. However, I just now passed the “bothered enough to send in an issue” test, so hope that bug report can help :) I'd assume if ibus doesn't work other similar specialized input methods won't work either.

This is almost certainly an instance of #7665

Indeed, I had searched without success for ibus, thanks! the gif looks really similar to what I'm getting.
