Title:
  Dash doesn't work when scim is selected as the Keyboard Input Method
  System

Status in “scim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This issue regards the packages for SCIM Input Method and DASH.*

  In Ubuntu 14.04, the Dash doesn't work when scim is selected as the
  Keyboard Input Method. "Doesn't work" means the Dash opens, but one
  cannot type in the search screen. It accepts one letter and then
  freezes. When one goes into language support and changes the Keyboard
  IM to another option such as ibus or Fcitx, the Dash problem resolves.
  I started a thread on the Ubuntu forums
  <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219628> about this matter
  some weeks ago, and someone else on the thread (tuannb86) reported the
  same problem. So there are definitely multiple users facing this
  issue.

  *I could not follow the standard procedure to initiate the bug in
  Ubuntu, because that requires hitting Alt-F2 to open a run-command
  screening and typing "ubuntu-bug 15370". (15370 is the number of the
  running process for scim in system monitor). By that way the bug is
  initiated and all the relevant info comes directly into the bug. But
  when scim is the selected IM, due to the bug I can't type in the dash
  screen. That includes the run-command screen.
