I solved this problem, which appears to be the same problem that caused Chromium 34 to sometimes not accept keyboard input, by switching from ibus to fcitx (as was suggested somewhere in the discussion on Chromium).
All I did was to go to synaptic and search for fcitx, and select for installation (it loads a few more pkgs). I did not have to remove ibus, and the keyboard icon in the notification section of the panel now looks different, and apparently concerns fcitx now, not ibus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1330122 Title: Rename file ; keyboard echo fails after 2nd shifted char +...
