In the last update that zenity had for Debian Testing, it caused a
problem with zenity. Now when I use the command "zenity --entry" to
enter in a password for a script that I wrote, it does not allow me to
type properly. I have to press a key many times for it to even register
it as one keystroke. Even to delete what I have written I have to hold
down the key for it to work. This makes typing in a password impossible
and renders my scripts useless. I would appreciate it if this could be fixed.

Are you using a specific input method?

 Yes, I am using iBus. I use it to switch between English and Chinese,
but I always type the things in zenity in English... I don't think that
matters though.

Yes it does. Using ibus-gtk3 should work better.

An upcoming fix for #633720 should also help.
