I have noticed that this bug is caused by the gcin program (keyboard input method system)

You may be right about gcin being the right package, but I am not sure. I am reassigning the bug to that package, as the developers of that package may be better placed to confirm this.
However, you might be able to help by providing more information. For example, you could try following some of the diagnostic advice on this page and provide the results here to help track down the problem:
