The version I have has "English - English (US)".  (Actually, my system
is in French, so it says, "Anglais - Anglais (US)", but that's the
translation).  I definitely don't have dead keys enabled, nor do I have
an AltGr key.  Besides the standard Shift key, I have Fn (this is a
laptop), Ctrl, Windows, and Alt.

I have that installed and I don't see an option for this.

I use MATE with Xorg and have never used GNOME or Wayland on this
system.  I do not need or want ibus, but I do use the video software
Zoom, and it requires it to be installed (it's in Depends).

I'm happy to switch to a different input method, but this bug remains
valid even if I do so.  ibus should refrain from popping up windows in
this way or at least provide a way to configure it which defaults to
off.  Upgrading a system should not result in any changes to the way
people input text because that's not expected nor wanted, and ibus has a
history of doing exactly that.
