New issue 1545 by kerr...@kerrickstaley.com: [Invalid UTF-8] is displayed
whenever characters are entered using IBus-Pinyin
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1545

Action taken:
Attempt to enter Chinese characters using IBus-Pinyin

Result:
The character input widget appears as usual, and the typed characters
appear inline as usual. However, when the characters are confirmed (by
pressing the space bar), the string "[Invalid UTF-8]" is inserted into the
text field instead of the entered characters.

Software versions:
Operating System: Arch Linux
Architecture: x86_64
IBus version: 1.4.99.20121109-1
Input method name and version: IBus-Pinyin 1.4.99.20120808-1
Python version: 2.7.3
dbus version: 1.6.8
dbus-python version: 1.1.1
GTK version: 3.6.2

Other info:
I reinstalled IBus and IBus-Pinyin, and this fixed the issue for about 3
minutes, but then the issue started happening again, and further reinstalls
have had no effect.

I ran ibus-daemon -rvx, and attempted to enter the string "中文". Here is
the output:
