Update:

Looks like this only affects the beta version as it works correctly on stable:

➜ ~ snap refresh chromium --stable
chromium 78.0.3904.97 from Canonical✓ refreshed

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Can you elaborate on which input method you're switching to? I've tested with the chromium snap in a clean 19.10 VM, and switching back and forth between French and Traditional Chinese (pinyin) works fine, for all channels of the snap.

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov (dmitriis)]

English (US) to Russian: en -> ru.

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov (dmitriis)]

Tried rev 951 now and I cannot reproduce the same behavior anymore.

➜ ~ snap refresh chromium --beta
Download snap "chromium" (951) from channel "beta" 77% 251kBDownloadchromium (beta) 79.0.3945.45 from Canonical✓ refreshed

I'll set it to incomplete for now and see if I encounter it again (if not, I'll just let it expire).

[Expired for chromium-browser (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
