Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with IME input on Linux. We’ve seen similar reports from both Chinese (fcitx5) and Korean (ibus) users.
A couple of questions to help us narrow it down:
- Which IME framework are you using, fcitx5, ibus, or something else?
- Are you on X11 or Wayland?
In the meantime, here’s a workaround that has helped other users. Type any English character or a space first in the input field, then switch to your Chinese IME. It’s not ideal, but it should save you from having to copy and paste from another app.
