Bug Description
The new ibus 1.5.28 seem to have introduced a pretty serious bug:

Very good bug report, with test case and someone proposing a patch:

"While playing TrackMania Nations Forever under Wine, I noticed that sometimes (once in a few minutes) the car continued steering after fully releasing the corresponding input key on my keyboard. Pressing and re-releasing the corresponding input fixed the problem. So, it appears that the game failed to register the key release event."
This is exactly the same issue I saw when playing Wine games.
Disabling ibus server (and switching to XIM) solved it.
Thanks for calling our attention to this!
I see that the ibus maintainer already has created a "tentative patch". Once it has been confirmed that the patch fixes it and it has been pushed to the upstream repo, we should probably add it to lunar.
