reportbug is the tool Debian uses to report bugs. if you file a bug
against it, it means there is a bug in reportbug itself; it's not just
a generic placeholder to report bugs that are not trivial to pinpoint
to a specific issue.

if that's the case, reportbug is not the tool you should be using, but
instead you should seek advice on a user support forum, such as
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ ,as i pointed out when closing
the report. Please refer to that mailing list for further questions.

I am sorry, I don't understand the explanation for closing this bug. It 
happens out of the box (fresh install) for various applications, on 
different machines without having any user modifications done. So I have 
to assume some more global issue.
How can the average user be expected to dig out a solution for this or 
asking for it not having the slightest clue where it is coming from. It 
shouldn't happen in the first place.
Due to some lucky incident I stumbled last week across an older Ubuntu 
question very similar to mine and it appeared to be the same issue, it 
is said there that the problem is somehow caused by gtk ibus and I was 
able to make a workaround by setting input method to scim. Maybe this 
helps to identify what's going on there.
