[Bug 1073839] [NEW] GVim accepts extra text from ibus when not in paste mode

[Michael Penkov]

Public bug reported:

I'm using ibus to enter Japanese text into GVim.

For example, if I want to enter the word 家庭 (katei), I follow the steps
below:

1) Switch to input mode (press i)
2) Switch on IME (using the appropriate key combination)
3) Enter the letters: k a t e i
4) Ibus will show a couple of candidates for the word (過程　仮定　家庭).  In all other programs, I can highlight them by pressing up/down arrows, and make my selection by pressing Enter.  However, in GVim, it enters the text without me pressing Enter, so I end up with a mess like 過程仮定家庭.

If I enable paste mode in GVim (set paste), then the problem goes away.

Here are my system details.  Please let me know if there is any other
information I can provide.

GVim version: 7.3.429
ibus-daemon - Version 1.4.1
Ubuntu 12.04
Fluxbox desktop manager
