bug(linux): can't select text with keyboard on Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland) #11860

When using Wayland, trying to select text with the keyboard by pressing Shift+← just moves the IP to the left without selecting text. This is observable in gnome-text-editor, gedit and Firefox. Works in Chromium.

Pressing the Alt key won't activate the menu. Pressing Alt+2 outputs 2 instead of nothing.

Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland) Keyman 18.0.60

The reason that 2 is output is that ibus calls ibus_keyman_engine_set_surrounding_text with the 2, so this looks like a problem in ibus.

~~Maybe related: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1070756~~ Unlikely. With Mantic, the originally shipped version was 2.78.0-2, the latest version is 2.78.0-2ubuntu0.1. It's already happening with the original version.
