Bug Description
After the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10, I notice the iBus(or indicator-keyboard I'm not sure) does not recognize the keyboard shortcut.
After some trying, I find that iBus change the way it recognize the keyboard shortcut in an really strict way.
Suppose, I use Ctrl+Space for keyboard shortcut for iBus.
In order to make iBus recognizing the keyboard shortcut,
I must do following key sequence.
1. Press down Ctrl.
2. Press down Space.
3. Release Space
If, for example, after the step 2, released Ctrl before the release of Space, iBus doesn't recognize the keyboard shortcut regardless of how many seconds you press down both Ctrl and Space.
This change is so inconvenient for me as I have to constantly switching between English and Japanese(Mozc) while typing text.
(Unification of Keyboard Layout and IME is really bad idea, but that's another story.)
