When ibus-pinyin is activated, selecting text in firefox deletes text

[Rongcui Dong]

I have tested some other GTK programs, only a combination of Firefox and ibus-pinyin causes this problem. I am on Ubuntu 14.10, and this bug is always reproducible. I think both ibus and firefox has upgraded for several times, but the problem persists. Before I upgrade to 14.10, I did not encounter this problem in 14.04. I upgraded long before using the update manager.

when Ibus-pinyin is in chinese input mode. start Firefox, and input something in address bra. FF will stop response. check meminfo, huge memleak by FF.

for delete text... it also happens when select text. it will delete selected text.

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

this now also happens to Chrome unstable version: 64.0.3269.3 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

it affects my thunderbird email from long ago.

I can confirm that this happens on Chromium 77.0.3865.90

This is the version info from chrome://version

Checking with dpkg, ibus-pinyin is version 1.5.0-4
