Comment 7 for bug 1786344

Yes, something very similar to bug #1756205. However, if I remember it
correctly, in bug #1756205, sunpinyin was selected as the default Chinese
input engine but was not included in the iso. Once you change the default
Chinese input engine to ibus-libpinyin (which was included in the iso),
problem solved.

In 18.10, however, the problems are two-fold:

1. When booted into the simplified Chinese locale, "汉语" （Hanyu,
Chinese）shows up as the input method, but there is no package corresponding
to hanyu-pinyin. Based on the content of the iso manifest, either Hanyu
should be linked to ibus-libpinyin, or we should simply use ibus-libpinyin
as the default input engine when booted into the simplified Chinese
locale. (In the Linux world, Hanyu-pinyin usually means "pinyin", but
since the pinyin input engine has been deprecated, we should use
ibus-libpinyin instead.)

2. The input method dialog window is also seriously flawed. It has
improved somewhat from my initial post, but very awkward to use, if at
all. It is difficult to explain & you should try it yourself to see how
bad the problem is.

Anyway, this is a regression from 18.04.
