I get the bug when using gb.gtk and the SCIM bridge input method. I don't get 
the bug if I use the SCIM input method (without "bridge").

It seems that there is a bad interaction between a GTK+ input method API and 
its implementation in the SCIM bridge input method module. I mean, a function 
that should be called twice without any problem actually makes this specific 
input method behave badly.

I don't know the difference between SCIM and "SCIM bridge", but maybe you 
could try to use SCIM instead of "SCIM bridge"?

I'm currently looking at the SCIM source code to understand what is done in 
the background. Which version of SCIM is installed on your system?
