Thank you for the report, and sorry for the lack of timely feedback.
I just tested this in a fully up-to-date 18.04 virtual machine, and I cannot
observe the issue you're describing. The Ctrl+Space shortcut switches between
input methods regardless of whether the address bar is focused or a text field
in a web page.
Note that I have firefox 69.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 and gcin
2.8.5+dfsg1-4build4.
You mention you're using gcin 2.8.9, where does it come from? If you
downgrade to 2.8.5 from the archive, does it fix the problem?

Title:
Weird behavior of chaning input method on webpages
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I'm finding a weird behaviour of changing input method "only on
webpages." I need to hit hotkey (Ctrl+Space) twice to trigger the
change if my courser is in text boxes "on the page." If the courser is
in URL bar or search bar or anywhere firebox window itself, this
phenomenon doesn't exist. I am using gcin 2.8.9 and is switching
between English and traditional Chinese. Thanks!
