Hi Oliver, Full details from the environment which has the problem:
Affected machines are all running Bionic and are fully patched. firefox: 68.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 gnome-shell: 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 ibus: 1.5.17-3ubuntu4 Machines are accessed as a VDI through VMware Horizon 7.9.0, and users who have problems are using Gnome 3. After discussing this with Eric D, we agreed that it might be a better idea to not restore the old ibus-xx-f19-password.patch and instead go with the upstream solution of https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/f328fd67f479faa46ca87bf3c85eed7080ec5ec0 which implements the same functionality, but hides it behind two environment variables, IBUS_DISCARD_PASSWORD and IBUS_DISCARD_PASSWORD_APPS. To be honest, I think this approach is better since it doesn't change any default behaviour and the fix is opt in for environments which need it. Plus this is present in cosmic, disco and eoan, and will be available in the future 20.04 LTS. I have tried my best to reproduce this, but I have not had any luck. I think this solution is probably the best for all parties, and this has been tested successfully in the affected environment, so I have made a new debdiff with the above patch. I would like to determine and fix the root cause, but that might be a little challenging, and this is a sufficient workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838358 Title: Ibus causes gnome-shell to freeze when password fields are selected in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1838358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
