Bug Description
Binary package hint: ibus
* I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
* "apt-cache policy ibus" says ibus 1.2.0.20090927-
Normally, when typing with NOMVNI (Vietnamese input), a valid sequence of Vietnamese quốc ngữ characters can be converted to Chinese-based chữ Nôm characters one at a time via a floating window containing a list of possible replacements. The user might have several "pages" of possible choices and can flip through these pages by using the up and down arrow keys. Once the correct character is found, the user usually presses the number corresponding to the character to finalize the selection.
In some cases, some operations with NOMVNI can cause the application to hang. I've reproduced the bug, and the following can cause an application to hang:
1. Activate IBus and enable the NOMVNI input method.
2. Press the following key sequence one at a time: [g], [i], [o], [7], [i], [1], [down], [down], [down], [down].
3. The application will hang (sometime with no text or with a Chinese character where the input was last active).
There are other ways to cause the application to hang with this input method as well.
