Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with multiple keyboard layouts: English (US) – Thai – Japanese (Anthy, Mozc), as appeared in Text Entry settings.
The problem is that … when I cycle through the layouts in this order [EN → TH → JP], I would have expected to be able to type Japanese properly; however, although the indicator on the top right says JP, the output was still in TH.
However, if I cycle in the reverse order [TH → EN → JP], the Japanese input works correctly.
In more details, whenever I switch to JP from TH (by switching to "next" input if TH precedes JP in the settings, or by switching to "previous" input if TH succeeds JP in the settings), the output is in TH instead of JP (but the indicator is already in JP). On the other hand, switching to JP from EN works fine.
Here's what the output from apt-cache policy ibus:
ibus:

Thank you for your bug report, how do you cycle through layout. Does it happen if you use the indicator menu to change inputs? Does it happen every time?
