I enabled bionic-proposed and installed ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3
versions 1.5.17-3ubuntu5.

I ran the test in a bionic VM which had VMware Horizon Agent for Linux
installed, version 7.9.0-13916467.

Running firefox with no environment variables caused long input delays
and small lockups with the affected gnome-shell library shipped by
VMware Horizon.

When enabling the following environment variables for ibus which are
implemented as part of this SRU:

$ env IBUS_DISCARD_PASSWORD=1 firefox
and
$ export IBUS_DISCARD_PASSWORD_APPS="firefox"
$ firefox

I could enter text into password fields in firefox with no problems at
all, and the problem is fixed.

The customer has also validated that the fix works in their VMware
Horizon environment, and the problem is solved.

I am happy to mark this as verified.
