Well that doesn’t solve the problem for those who use several keyboard layouts.
I use an «exotic» layout, so I need to quickly change it when I lend my
computer to someone for a some manipulation.

You sir are a genius! Solved it for me.

Of course, I still believe this bug should be looked into... Especially since
the "configure layouts" option is enabled by default (isn't it?).

Unfortunately, this is not a solution when ibus is necessary, because KDE
itself doesn't provide input engines available in ibus.

Yes, I did not see this problem with Leap 42.1.

Possible. The current advice is to remove ibus-qt, which I might try.

Leap 42.1 uses Plasma 5.5.5. Are you saying you didn't experience this on 42.1?

I first reported this issue in 5.5.4, so I'm guessing openSUSE somehow went and
pulled the bug from upstream along with the newer Plasma version (5.8.3).

I stumbled over this after upgrading my workstation from openSuSE Leap 42.1 to
42.2 (see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011996).
Is there any resolution to this problem ?

At least since my last comment I don’t get the random ibus killing and I can
start ibus at startup without a specific script. ibus is still killed when I
get back from a TTY or when I change my keyboard configuration in the KCM.

It’s a easy to fix but it’s not clear why precisely the code was introduced in
the first place. In the code there’s:

// stop ibus so it does not mess with our layouts, we can remove this when we
integrate IM into keyboard module

It sounds like it is/was a bug in ibus (and it doesn’t seem like IM will be
integrated into keyboard module anytime soon). So finding a solution in the
meantime would be appreciated.

Still an issue in 5.7.5.

Another effect worth mentioning is that all Konsole windows (and sometimes
Firefox too) stop accepting any input once ibus is terminated, i.e. when I
switch back from the VT. Closing every single window and starting Konsole again
makes it "operational" again, but things just really get out of hand when I
have critical stuff such as vim or ssh running in the Konsole window.

I also have this problem in 5.6.2, it is very annoying.

Also after ibus dies, it is impossible to input any text in KDE apps (though
Qt5 and GTK apps receive input fine, only KDE apps stop responding to
keyboard): konsole, yakuake, kate, krunner become useless until I restart
ibus-daemon manually. I found that setting "QT_IM_MODULE=" helps to workaround this, but will disable ibus in KDE apps.

- Can confirm this bug on Arch Linux (not reproducible on Fedora, is it
patched?).
- ibus is also stopped when changing keyboard settings in Systemsettings. To
reproduce, open Systemsettings → Input Devices → Keyboard. Make any change,
even just make one and revert, and click on Apply. ibus is stopped with `ibus
successfully stopped` in journalctl.
- It also seems to happen when I’m not actively behind my keyboard.
- Starting ibus at startup doesn’t work (I guess it’s this same bug because it
works on Fedora), I need to write a script which sleep for a few seconds,
launch ibus then kill and relaunch krunner.

I found the commit in plasma-desktop which introduced the «feature»:

(the code hasn’t since been changed). This. is. terribly. awful.

This code should probably be removed, even if it causes bugs, because
terminating ibus is way worse. I should relaunch ibus several times a day, and
I also must relaunch every open Qt5 application (really annoying with e.g.
konversation) otherwise I can’t type i.e. Japanese and use dead keys anymore —
and since a few days, some applications are basically left unusable (i.e. I
must press several dozens of times a key to actually obtain the character). So,
it’s a *really serious and awfully annoying bug*.

I’m not sure the last thing I described is a KDE bug (should I open a report
about that here?) because Qt4 and GTK apps works perfectly well — in fact, I
just need to relaunch ibus and it’s like nothing happened (well frankly
hopefully otherwise I would have been restarting Gajim and Firefox several
times a day).
