Public bug reported:
I use Autokey-GTK to auto-type common phrases into emails. If I'm using
an email client, it usually works fine, but when I use gmail via Firefox
the phrases I auto-type with often be missing characters from the middle
of strings.
Another bug, dealing with AutoKey-GTK not working in Ubuntu 14.10, (via
Alberto Salvia Novella) revealed to me what was likely causing this in
Ubuntu 14.04.
It seems to be caused by ibus.
After disabling ibus, I have not seen this "missing characters" bug
reproduce itself again.
The way to disable ibus is:
Settings > Language Support > Language tab > Keyboard input method system : none
So, autokey and ibus seem to conflict each other. In 14.04 it effects
auto-key accuracy and performance. And in 14.10, it corrupts autokey's
output severely.
Disabling ibus is the work-around, but I'm reporting this in case
someone might know how to make these services play well with each other.
