Bug Description
I'm finding a weird behaviour of changing input method "only on webpages." I need to hit hotkey (Ctrl+Space) twice to trigger the change if my courser is in text boxes "on the page." If the courser is in URL bar or search bar or anywhere firebox window itself, this phenomenon doesn't exist. I am using gcin 2.8.9 and is switching between English and traditional Chinese. Thanks!

Thank you for the report, and sorry for the lack of timely feedback.
I just tested this in a fully up-to-date 18.04 virtual machine, and I cannot observe the issue you're describing. The Ctrl+Space shortcut switches between input methods regardless of whether the address bar is focused or a text field in a web page.
Note that I have firefox 69.0.1+ build1- 0ubuntu0. 18.04.1 and gcin 2.8.5+dfsg1- 4build4.
You mention you're using gcin 2.8.9, where does it come from? If you downgrade to 2.8.5 from the archive, does it fix the problem?
