Public bug reported: Earlier, I switched my ibus daemon to the Japanese/anthy input mode and locked my screen. I couldn't key in my password (consisting solely of ascii characters), as it appeared to be inputting everything in Japanese (the typical underlines were there, but everything was starred as it was a password input field).
There didn't appear to be a way to switch it back to a standard qwerty input mode, so I was kind of stuck. Workaround: I managed to get back in by activating the switch user menu item and logging back in from there.
