In any program the cursor may be, I have to click one or more times in the ibus icon and in the chosen language (off/chinese-pinyin), the number of times used to be 1, 2 or 3 (until the icon changes), now seems to be more randomic, including > the number of times I wanna try. That's really a pain in the ass!
That's probably not the place, but it could (once this is fixed), also have the option to remember the language for different windows/text fields... this would speed up things a lot!

What really happens: When in gedit, ibus turns on fine and I can input in Japanese (anthy) and other languages e.g. Chinese pinyin. However, when using firefox, I can't get the input method to change to anthy or any other from "Input method Off" using my shortcut keys (Ctrl+Space). If I manually right click ibus icon in the tray and left click the input method (e.g. anthy), the first time, the bullet point changes to anthy AND "Input method Off", the second time it will change completely to anthy but sometimes it stays at "Input method Off". Even if the bullet point changes to anthy, I am not able to input in anthy at all. The first time I turned ibus 'on' to anthy in EiskaltDC++ it worked, however the following times it didn't work at all. When I restart ibus, and try to switch to anthy or another input using right-click on the ibus icon, I only see "No input window" where there should be input methods. However, when I switch to kate/gedit, I am able to use any other input method, and can switch input methods using keyboard shortcut or GUI click menu. After switching to another input method (e.g. anthy), I am able to switch to other input methods in apps that I can't use other input methods in (e.g. firefox) via the GUI click menu (but not keyboard shortcut). If I check "Share the same input method among all applications": -- and switch to anthy (or any other input method besides "Input method Off") in gedit, I am able to type using anthy in gedit, but when I switch programs to firefox for example, it won't work. I can see the anthy logo in the tray icon, and also in the anthy menu, but all the switch "input mode" "typing mode" "conversion mode" "dictionary" buttons will have disappeared, and only the anthy logo button (change ibus input) and "About the input method" button remain. -- I can't change the input method (using keyboard shortcut orc GUI click menu) in any application I can't type using other input methods. -- I can also no longer change input methods using the GUI click menu, but must use my shortcut (Alt-Shift_L), even in applications that I can input non-english in (i.e. gedit/kate). Sometimes the GUI click menu displaying input methods with current input method bullet pointed doesn't display correctly, even in apps that I can input non-english in (gedit/kate). I must right-click the tray icon again for it to refresh and display properly. For example, if I switch using the keyboard shortcut, the input method will have changed but the bullet point will still be on the previous input method, unless I right click the tray icon again. To 'input' other languages into firefox (or any other program), I must first type in gedit or kate and then copy the text over to firefox. I can't even type non-english languages in LibreOffice Writer!
