Comment 8 for bug 1768166

I don't know if upgrading via the ppa actually solved the random crash
problem, but I never had any crash after the upgrade. There could be other
reasons including gnome upgrades. But AT LEAST upgrading via the ppa did
not cause any negative effects. Thus, I suggest applying the
ibus-libpinyin upgrade to the newer version for Ubuntu 18.04.1.
