[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#874158: ibus pinyin input: first entry shows black box instead of actual chinese

[Phil]

Package: ibus
Version: 1.5.14-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I think migrating from GNOME to KDE may have done this but I can't remember. I
installed Debian with GNOME by default and then installed KDE separately using
the instructions on the Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/KDE.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I started typing a few characters and noticed that the first entry of pinyin is
shown in black (but the rest are ok).

   * What was the outcome of this action?
As above

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Chinese characters showing correctly for first entry
