IPA Unicode IME (IBus) outputs extra characters

Reported by davidmor...@gmail.com, May 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start the browser
2. Visit any site with a text input
3. Change input method to "IPA Unicode 6.2 (ver 1.4) KMN"
4. Type the sequence "n>"

What is the expected behavior?
This keystroke sequence should yield "ŋ"

What went wrong?
Instead, this keystroke sequence yields "nŋ"

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: Version 60.0.3110.0 (Developer Build) (64-bit)  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04
Flash Version: N/A

I believe this may be related to the IME problems that have been reported for Devanagari and other Indic scripts. It impacts every case where there is a postfix modifier. The new character does not replace the modified character; it is simply appended after it. This is true in all text inputs including the address bar.

This input method functions flawlessly in Firefox and in other applications with GTK-based UIs (gedit, for example).

Is this a problem in the location bar or in the web page content area itself or both?
This is a problem in both the location bar and the web page content.

As this is a problem in the content area as well, adding Blink->Input (my guess at the correct component; please let me know if I'm wrong).

Components: -Blink>Editing>IME
Removing Blink>Editing>IME, because this issue is happened on both 
omonibox(location bar) and Blink.

There are some incompatibility to between IME engine and browser side IME handling.

- How about other IME on Linux?
- Is this happened on Chrome OS to use same IME as Linux?
