Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I am experiencing a long-standing issue (persisting for 1-2 years) where Japanese input via Fcitx5 does not work correctly in the Steam Store search bar.
Actual Behavior:
When typing with Fcitx5-Mozc, keystrokes are frequently dropped or the character order is swapped.
Example: If I type "puroject" with Japanese input ON, it may result in "rpuoject" or characters might be missing.
This issue is specific to the Steam Store's web view. Other native Linux applications handle Fcitx5 correctly.
Expected Behavior:
Characters should be captured in the correct order.
The IME candidate window should appear and allow for Japanese conversion (Hiragana/Kanji) smoothly.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Launch Steam on Debian 13 with Fcitx5-Mozc.
Go to the "Store" tab.
Click on the search bar in the top right corner.
Enable Japanese input (Fcitx5) and try to type a word (e.g., "puroject").
Observe that the input is corrupted or the order of characters is incorrect.
