New issue by BlindRepublic on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/45337

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.3.13_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

ibus-1.5.28_2

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

Typing into a GTK based window with an input method (`anthy`, `mozc`, `libhangul`, etc) brings up suggestions based upon typed text

### Actual behaviour

No characters come up as if input were simply the default keyboard layout. Switching to a latin keyboard layout instead (say, Spanish) works fine (the colon key types "ñ"').

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install and configure `ibus` and a CJK input method (say `mozc`)
2. Switch to it via `super + tab`
3. Start typing in a text entry

Comment:
Sorry I guess that is vague. European keyboard layouts using Latin and possibly Cyrillic characters as well. That's as opposed to input methods like Mozc

Are you using GNOME, a Window manager, or some other DE?
Also, if you are using X11, keep in mind that your applications need to explicitly support ibus (as opposed to Wayland where it should work regardless).

Try using it with a GTK application as there are builtin plugins for that?

Also, if you are using ibus-anthy you can use `/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-anthy`, then go to the `keyboard layout` tab and try changing the keyboard layout there.

Also, keep in mind that ibus-anthy or mozc may start in Latin mode by default, you can just change that by clicking the icon or you can change the initial setting in ibus-setup-anthy.

This actually worked for Anthy! However Mozc's settings didn't work and Hangul doesn't have any configuration options.

I'm using XFCE and testing via GTK applications.
