IBus (in KDE) keyboard shortcut stop working after a while

Probably due to Google Docs. Super+space always save, but I cannot press Ctrl+space at all.

It probably won't break if I don't use Google Docs; only visiting some other websites.

But when bugs happen, it propagates to other tabs and other apps.

It still works when clicked in Notification Area, though.

Re: IBus (in KDE) keyboard shortcut stop working after a while

I think I found the solution.

Tip: KDE comes with a plasmoid called Input Method Panel that can act as an IBus frontend and can possibly provide a better integrated experience.

To launch IBus with Input Method Panel, replace the Exec line with the following command:
Exec=ibus-daemon -drx --panel=/usr/lib/kimpanel-ibus-panel

This is wrong. It should be

ibus-daemon -drx -n kde

which fixes the problem. However, not beautiful for dark panel (poor accessibility).

And

ibus-daemon -drx -n kde --panel=/usr/lib/kimpanel-ibus-panel

doesn't work.
