Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When I use Google Docs on Firefox while ibus is running, using the word count feature in Google Docs will cause the body of text being counted to be deleted. This does not happen with Google Chrome. To produce this bug:
1) Go to Google Docs with Firefox, make sure ibus is running
2) Open a new document, type something, choose the text and press Ctrl + Shift + C to do word count
3) Press OK on the little window that appears, then the text is deleted.

Then quit ibus, do the same thing, but this time the text is not deleted.
Do the same thing with Google Chrome but with ibus running, the text is also not deleted.
Apparently there is something going on with Firefox and Ibus

This makes Google Docs in Firefox unusable. Inserting characters overwrites texts after the cursor.
