[SOLVED]gnome-shell-1:43.3-1 wayland break ibus-bamboo forwardKeyEvent

As a Vietnamese, I have been using ibus-bamboo in Gnome for a long time and just switched to wayland for the last couple of months.
Ibus-bamboo provide serveral editing mode to compose vietnamese characters before inserting them into textbox. The good old pre-editing mode compose the chracter in a separate popup before inserting can work well everywhere but it breaks intellisense suggstion in a variety of applications.
I have found the "ForwardKeyEvent I" mode to work best in gnome wayland. But recently gnome-shell-1:43.3-1 breaks all ibus-bamboo mode on wayland save the old pre-editing one.
Switching to Gnome on Xorg helped.
Downgrading back to gnome-shell-1:43.2-3 also helps, and it's what I'm currently running one right now.

I'm clueless about the underlying technology behind FordwardKeyEvent ibus mode and thus can't report this problem to upsttream Gnome yet. Just want to leave a few word here in case any fellow ibus user run into similar problems like me.
