When I focus a password field in Firefox, it starts focusing and unfocusing rapidly, making it difficult to type passwords.
Also, CPU usage goes up with the 4 processes eating most:
%Cpu(s): 25,3 us, 11,0 sy, 0,0 ni, 63,5 id
Xorg 60%
gnome-flashback 21%
firefox 20%
ibus-daemon 4%
Launching Firefox with
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox
makes it go away.
On an uptodate Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS system I am observing the same symptoms as in bug /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ ibus/+bug/ 1765304
