I decided to build the latest code from the 'two upstreams'.

Found that the true upstream is <https://github.com/vn-input/ibus-unikey>. It has been maintained by the original author of the tool, and is most similar to the version we currently have in the archive. It's available here:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ibus-unikey

I will upload that one later, i.e. it's too late for 20.04, so it will first be seen in the official archive for 20.10. But I would very much appreciate if you could install from that PPA and provide feedback here. As regards the issue you reported in this bug report, I'd say it's fixed or rather obsoleted by a new UI design.

The 'other upstream' (<https://github.com/ibus-unikey/ibus-unikey>) is a fork with significant subsequent code changes made by other contributors. They intentionally dropped the separate Setup window. It's available here:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ibus-unikey2

It would be valuable if you could install and test that variant too. It may be of greater interest in the future.

Which one is best in your opinion?
