[Bug 1731524] [NEW] mate panel freezes when clicking on fcitx icon in the notification area while having a text field selected

[Shuhao]

Public bug reported:

FCITX is enabled by default on Ubuntu Mate. If you click on a textbox,
the notification area will show a keyboard icon with the label "us"
beside it.

When you click on that icon at this moment, a blank menu will pop up and
the entire desktop environment freezes until you switch to tty1 and do
killall mate-panel.

If the us label is not beside the keyboard icon for fcitx (anytime when
you don't have a text field focused), clicking on the icon shows the
regular fcitx menu as normal.

** Affects: mate-desktop (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => mate-desktop (Ubuntu)
