** Description changed: Normally gnome-terminal allows the user to switch the input method by pressing a special key combination. Sometimes gnome-terminal gets into a state where it seems to ignore the special key combination for switching the input method in ibus - it is permanently locked in the default input method for English. There is no clear pattern of usage or trigger for when it happens. 1. The problem is not solved by resetting the terminal using the menu Terminal -> Reset, or Terminal -> Reset and Clear 2. The problem is also not solved even by starting a new gnome-terminal from the menu, File -> Open Terminal -> Default 3. However, using the command-line to start a new terminal with the factory disabled does make input method switching work again: gnome-terminal --disable-factory but doing this obviously loses all the session information in the previous gnome-terminal. + 4. Also, when the problem occurs, opening a new tab re-enables the input mode to be switched in the new tab as well as in the original tab. However, the problem usually re-occurs soon in the original tab. This has been happening in all versions of Ubuntu since 10.04 until 12.04.02 precise, with gnome-terminal up to and including version 3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1 and ibus version 1.4.1-3ubuntu1 This is a really annoying bug.
