This is fixed/workedaround by installing ibus-gtk (ibus-gtk3 is in the default install, but ibus-gtk isn't)
see LP: #1377370

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Got the same:
- As soon as I press "Shift" in gedit or gnome-calculator I get ibus-daemon consuming a whole core and ibus-x11 a half one.
It stops only if I leave the window in which I pressed the key.

Doesn't happen in firefox or LibreOffice Writer.

Hehe!

Looks like my "Shift" bug is staking.

Pressing Shift once consume 1 core, twice: 2 cores, ... (no more than 4 in my case :-)

Same here, Shift key... Seems duplicate of #1299759
