Binary package hint: ibus

This is a very unfortunate bug, as it is hard to reproduce :(.

I use ThinkingRock, a Java application, and after some time the keyboard input stops working for this application, meaning I can still use my mouse to manipulate the program, but I cannot type anything. When closing the iBus Daemon the input works again after some seconds. Also restarting the Java application helps to postpone the problem until it occurs again some minutes later.

I'm using version 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 of iBus and version 2.2.1 of ThinkingRock. My Java version is 6-15-1.

Please notice: I do NOT want to input Chinese or Japanese or anything like it. I just want to normally use my keyboard. I also have NO input method selected, I have the input methods turned OFF.

I have yet to test this behavior with other Java applications (maybe it's a bug in ThinkingRock?), so I'd be happy if somebody can confirm this bug for other Java applications. Because the solution is to quit the iBus Daemon, I suspect iBus to be the problem.
