Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I was trying to search a large (300GB) directory of documents or for one in
particular, by file name.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
typed a long word into nautilus to perform the search
   * What was the outcome of this action?
The letters were 'received' out of order unless I waited a full second for each
letter to appear before typing the next.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected to be able to type at my normal speed without reading and waiting
for each letter.

I tracked this down via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2877
to an upstream bug in ibus: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2486

I am requesting a backport of ibus' fix to stable/bookworm:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/pull/2532/commits

Or to update the version in bookworm to the latest upstream if that wouldn't
break anything.

Hi Billy,

There have been quite a few improvements between ibus 1.5.27-5 in
bookworm and 1.5.29~rc1-1 in trixie, and I think a backport to bookworm
would be a reasonable measure. That would include many other things
besides the PR you mention.

I prepared such an upload here:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ibus/-/commits/bookworm-bpo

I have successfully used that branch to build and install ibus locally
in Debian 12 (amd64), and confirmed with some basic checks that it runs
as expected. If you know how to build, it would be good if you too could
build and test it.

ibus 1.5.29~rc1-1~bpo12+1 is now in bookworm-backports.

Closing this bug.
