Bug Description

Hello,
Thanks for developing fcitx!
I am on Lubuntu (Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid) + fcitx ui-light 0.1.3.2.
For some reason, no matter what input method I use for Chinese (pinyin, Google pinyin, Wubi ...), the list of options for characters is always displayed as a big black empty frame. Although the characters themselves can be typed in (see screenshot attached), I can't view the characters I need to select...
I tried de-installing fcitx and re-installing, and I also installed compton just in case (following the info on here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451095/lubuntu-14-04-and-fcitx-qimpanel-how-to-remove-this-black-square/451285#451285 and there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2144468) -- but still no joy.
Any advice?

Best,
DC

This issue appears because the QtQuick supports is absence. By default, Lbuntu does not come with QtQuick package. You may try the following steps:

sudo apt-get install qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin

The step was taken from the following sources:
