When using scim-m17n in gedit, the backspace and delete keys are

Bug description:
scim-m17n is an input method used for typing many languages,
especially those with complex characters.
With scim-m17n enabled in gedit, when one presses the backspace or
delete key, then instead of performing the expected work, the cursor
simply moves one space ahead and places "" there. Actually when
I paste that sign here, it is just an empty box. But there in gedit
the box contains four digits arranged in two rows: "0008" for
backspace, and "007F" for delete. I have attached a screenshot to
illustrate more clearly.
With scim-m17n is enabled, when one presses the backspace key when
gets a result equivalent to typing: <Ctrl+Shift+U> 0008 <Enter>
With scim-m17n is enabled, when one presses the delete key when gets a
result equivalent to typing: <Ctrl+Shift+U> 007F <Enter>
This behaviour is evident only in gedit. When using scim-m17n in Libre
Office, Thunderbird, and other applications, the backspace and delete
keys work normally.
In gedit with scim-m17n enabled, all the other instructional keys like
insert, home, end, page up, page down-- these all work normally.
I have been using scim-m17n since 2007, and this was never an issue
until installing Ubuntu 14.04 which ships with gedit version 3.10.4.
This issue is a serious problem for those working with scim in gedit.
