Bug#1019453: ibus: IBus doesn't work correctly in apps that don't support surrounding text

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@debian.org>]

Thanks for explaining and for the patch. However, I saw that you closed 
your upstream PR because of this upstream commit:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/781119be

So where do we stand now as regards Debian?

To summarize my understanding of it:

Currently we have a workaround in Debian which is good for Firefox but 
bad for other browsers. Upstream has just dropped the workaround in the 
main branch and suggests that Firefox should be fixed instead.

Should we patch ibus in Debian with commit 781119be? It's not obviously 
the right thing to do, since the suggested Firefox fix hasn't been 
accomplished yet, and Firefox is the most important browser, after all.

I also notice that the discussion continues here:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2354

So I'm hesitating. Eberhard, which are your current thoughts as regards 
ibus in Debian/Ubuntu?
