Mozc Not Working with Google Chrome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up Google Chrome.
2. Switch to Mozc (running under IBus).
3. Try to type Japanese.

What is the expected output?
Japanese characters.

What do you see instead?
Latin characters.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mozc 1.15.1917.102
x86_64 Linux 3.17.4-1-ARCH

Please provide any additional information below.
Mozc worked fine until Chrome was updated at some point. Although, sadly, I 
cannot pinpoint the exact update that affected the functionality as I was not 
using Chrome at that time. Browsers that still use the GTK back-end work with 
Mozc fine.

Thank you for the report but I guess this issue can be addressed only in 
Chromium side, not in ibus-mozc side.  So let me close this as 
ExternalDependency.  Please let me know if the issue is not reproducible other 
ibus-based input methods such as ibus-anthy or ibus-kkc.

Can you please report a bug in Chromium's issue tracker?

Actually some of developers of Mozc projects (including me) are also working 
for Chromium, especially on input method support.  And as one of Chromium 
developers, I suspect that this is an issue of Chromium.

You might want to include following info when you file a bug in Chromium's 
issue tracker.
- LOCALE environment variable
- Chromium version
- IBus version
- Input method version

Thank you for your help and understanding.

Thank you for showing interest in my issue.

I tested ibus-anthy and ibus-kkc. They both worked fine except for ibus-anthy, 
which couldn't output Japanese in Skype.

It is worth noting that after adding Anthy and KKC to my input sources, Mozc 
suddenly started working with everything. I thought the issue was solved until 
I removed Anthy and KKC from my input sources and restarted my laptop, after 
which, Mozc ceased to cooperate with Chrome again.

I will do as you said and file a bug on Chromium's issue tracker.

Summary:

Anthy - works in Chrome (except for Skype)
KKC - works in Chrome and everywhere else
Mozc - randomly started working in Chrome until I restarted my laptop
