Bug Description
Currently I have English, Vietnamese (Unikey), and Russian language in my switcher. I cannot switch from Russian to Vietnamese, I must switch to English first, and then to Vietnamese.
Does work: Vietnamese -> Russian
Does work: Vietnamese -> English
Does work: Russian -> English
Does work: Russian -> English -> Vietnamese
Does not work: Russian -> Vietnamese
This always gets me, especially because in the status bar it will say "vi" but when typing it's still cyrillic.

Thanks for your report.
The ibus-unikey behavior in this respect is not configurable AFAIK. While the behavior is fine together with latin keyboard layouts, it's problematic when you try to switch from a non-latin layout such as Russian directly to Unikey.
You have found a workaround — switch to English first, then Unikey — which is good.
The upstream development of ibus-unikey has stopped, so the chance is small that the issue will be addressed soon.
