Switching to new input method does nothing

[O Gopal]

I have ibus-m17n installed, but switching to a different input method does nothing.

STR:
1. Make sure my 2nd input method (in my case, "Sanskrit (sa-IAST (m17n))" appears under "Settings-->Keyboard-->Input sources."
2. Use alt-space to switch to my second input method.
3. Notice on the top panel that the indicator shows that the input method has changed.
4. Attempt to key in some special characters (using Gedit, LibreOffice, etc.).

Expected result:
The special characters will appear.

Actual result:
The keyboard behaves as if the input method were my usual "English (US)."

No such problem with 22.04.

Removing and re-adding "Sanskrit (sa-IAST (m17n))" in Settings doesn't solve the issue.

Hardware: IBM ThinkPad Carbon X-1, 5th generation.

The same issue with my Ubuntu 22.10 Cinnamon Desktop.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is the fix:

     https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/commit/b94603b6feb7696b9f43f0bea907e6acc63a13c7

The fix is included in ibus-m17n >= 1.4.17

Latest release: https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/releases/tag/1.4.18

So either you can upgrade ibus-m17n to >= 1.4.17 or use the workaround described in comment # 52: https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/issues/52#issuecomment-1249995669
