For IBus there was an env var we could set if we detect it that stops it interfering with input:

The IBus dev was pretty good providing help and feedback. This is the first time I've encountered fcitx, so it is at the moment unclear how (or if) we can fix this in Terminator.

I take it fcitx is an essential piece of your environment? If so, we'll need to figure out a way of working around whatever it is that fcitx is doing. To progress further I'd really need the output from the branch described in comment 17 of LP:1318542, ideally with fcitx running, and also without fcitx running. I can then request some help from the fcitx devs to figure out the best way to stop fcitx doing odd things in the event queue.
