So, I've found this issue through a question on
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1214208/input-language-switching-in-
password-fields . It looks like I'm facing this bug and it makes GNOME
basicly unusable for me.

The behaviour I've encountered is as follows:
* I have 2 input languages set: Korean (default one) and Russian. Korean 
language has English build in it, so I don't have add English to my system. 
Korean uses IBus for input (even in English mode).
* Hidden input fields across the system do not like IBus input languages. When 
I focus the hidden input (password field), the Korean is removed from the input 
language options, and I'm left only with Russian. And as my passwords are not 
in Russian, I cannot log in to anything. This includes password fields in 
browsers, WIFI connection dialog etc.
* If the password field has the "show password" button, I press it, and in this 
mode I can use Korean as normal.
* Even more frustraiting. I've added English input language just for passwords. 
Now when I set the focus on a password field, Korean is removed, so two 
languages are left: Russian and English. Since I don't usually use English, 
Russian is chosen. I press Ctrl+Space to change it to English. At this moment 
input language switching dialog is shown, which makes the focus leave the 
password field, Korean added to the list, and being chosen. Then the dialog 
disappears, password field is focused, Korean removed again and my active 
language is Russian again. It took me 5 minutes to log into Ubuntu One with 
GNOME (by typing my password in an open form in another field and copy-paste 
it).

Does anyone knows if there is any workaround for this?
