Bug Description

Prerequisites, setup the following in Ubuntu 12.04:

* English (US)
* French (Canadian)
* Japanese

This will end up looking like the screenshot in bug #947872, but I digress...

1) Launch Text Editor (gedit)
2) Click the iBus icon
3) Select Japanese - Anthy
4) Type with keyboard

Expected: Japanese characters appear in gedit
Actual: No change

In contrast, the exact same steps work fine in this text box, the text box that I am using to type this bug report (Using Chrome, あいうえお ...)

Regards,

Possible duplicate of 1023165, which I have added a comment to (mainly that I get ibus working correctly by manually reverting to Debian versions of ibus instead of customized ubuntu version, and also by not relying on starting ibus with language support, but start it manually with a custom autostart application)
