I hope that this comment helps someone else, but I was having similar problems with ibus while using Firefox. Although I could input text using ibus, I could not right-click or access any of the menus (File, Edit, etc) while ibus was active.
I tried reinstalling ibus and changing the input method in the language settings, but the problem remained. However, when I installed the re- packaged ibus in the ~wasta-linux ppa as mentioned by Rik Shaw, ibus works perfectly with Firefox now. Thank you. I am running Linux Mint 13 (maya) 64-bit and Firefox 31.0. Feel free to move this comment if it seems that it is in the wrong place, as I am fairly new to posting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007423 Title: ibus won't turn 'on' when in certain programs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1007423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
