Reported by vishvas....@gmail.com, Apr 21 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
* Set up the hi-optitransv2 input (from m17n) on your ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine (I use the standard Google issue googbuntu).
* Follow the demonstration of the bug is here - https://youtu.be/Vgw_h1mJd0k

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
extra character being produced as I type.

Did this work before? Yes previous stable version.

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

it had started breaking in beta for a few months, and I switched to stable. now it's started to fail in stable as well.
 
Confirmed that the problem does not exist in the older chrome64_49.0.2623.75 stable, but persists in the current unstable version as well.

Oh this is still a big problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdjb1rHKqCI&feature=youtu.be for the latest version. Please reopen this bug and do something.

Version 62.0.3202.38 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on Ubuntu 17 here.
I find this problem in Vivaldi, an entirely different Blink browser as well. Can someone change the components to Blink please? Looks like I don't have the permission to do so.
Here are steps (ubuntu 17.04 is what I currently have) to install and set up the input methods described above:
* Install the following packages: iBus-m17n ibus-qt4 m17n-db m17n-contrib ttf-indic-fonts
* Once ibus is running (you can just restart to ensure that), open "text entry settings" and select sa-itrans and hi-optitransv2 input methods. 

PLease also see for pics and details:

The particular error I first reported is not reproducible. 

But, the one I report in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=605564#c3 is reproducible (confirmed in #62.0.3202.45 as well). Please try that. 

In sa-itrans, the letters to type (case sensitive) are:
dalanatas sphuritais sphuTaphUtkRtaiH
svakaramaskaragarvitataskaraH

This should smoothly yield:
दलनतस् स्फुरितैस् स्फुटफूत्कृतैः
स्वकरमस्करगर्विततस्करः

Continuing from https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=605564#c6 (motivated by https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=772691#c5 ):
To ensure that you have the latest input method files, please dump all *.mim files from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/m17n/m17n-db.git/tree/MIM to /usr/share/m17n/ , ensure that they are readable (sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/m17n/*.mim) and restart ibus.
