[lunar] missing key events with ibus 1.5.28

[Ernst Persson]

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

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5294

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2485

Very good bug report, with test case and someone proposing a patch:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480

"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.

This bug was fixed in the package ibus - 1.5.28-2
