Crushes when typing certain on Arch Linux #107

I'm facing some really wired issue with Avro since I started using Arch Linux. I installed it correctly with all the necessary dependencies and it seemed just fine in the beginning. But after sometime, I discovered that when I try to write some certain words(তোমাকে, পরীক্ষা, সিরিয়াসলী, সব for example), Avro just stops working and English letter appears on the screen. I have to switch my keyboard layout to English and then back to Avro again to get it working. But this happens every time I type those words. As I type, I keep discovering more and more word that causes the issue and It becomes impossible to write at a point. What's more wired is that it seems to depend on what application I'm using too. Like, When I type পরীক্ষা in Chrome, It breaks Avro. But I can write পরীক্ষা just fine in gedit. But words like 'তোমাকে' reproduce the issue no matter wherever I'm.

I sometime forget to write sudo before my commands, Unknown stuff popping up in my terminal gets me scared; So you can say I'm a newbie in the Linux world. Still, I've done everything that came into my tiny mind. My attempts include: Uninstalling and installing Avro at least 20 times up until now. Installing it from AUR, removing and installing it again from the source and hoping it'll work even though I know they are the same files. Fresh installing of Arch Linux(Can't forget those long hours of downloading package). Showing bloodshot eyes to the screen Punch on the table -_-

This is really a big problem for me as I type a lot of Bangla on a regular basis. And I really don't want to switch to some other OS that I can't afford. Besides, I love Arch a lot. I really hope there is a fix for this. Looking forward to hear from you. :)

I've attached a gif file of the issue so you can better understand whats happening here. avro issue

Erm you can try building from source though. I'm using ibus-avro on Manjaro and it works fine. Built from the source actually.
