I'm also affected by this on 14.04 with IDEA's IntelliJ. I used to see it on older releases as well.
"ibus restart" helps to kick things back into cooperation.
It's hard to reproduce; I would say it happens about 5 times per week on average, but on a bad day I can get it several times in a matter of an hour or so.

Keyboard input never gets lost halfway typing something, but always
right after a bit of window/desktop switching. I always switch
windows/desktops using keyboard shortcuts (alt-tab for windows, ctrl-
alt-j/k for desktops). During those I often hit Alt or Super by
accident, opening the HUD or the launcher respectively. I have a strong
feeling, but am not 100% certain that those are involved as well.

Title:
  iBus blocks input in Java application

Status in IBus:
  Unknown
Status in Iced Tea:
  Confirmed
Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “icedtea-java7” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ibus

  This is a very unfortunate bug, as it is hard to reproduce :(.

  I use ThinkingRock, a Java application, and after some time the
  keyboard input stops working for this application, meaning I can still
  use my mouse to manipulate the program, but I cannot type anything.
  When closing the iBus Daemon the input works again after some seconds.
  Also restarting the Java application helps to postpone the problem
  until it occurs again some minutes later.

  I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with version 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 of iBus and
  version 2.2.1 of ThinkingRock. My Java version is 6-15-1.

  Please notice: I do NOT want to input Chinese or Japanese or anything
  like it. I just want to normally use my keyboard. I also have NO input
  method selected, I have the input methods turned OFF.

  I have yet to test this behavior with other Java applications (maybe
  it's a bug in ThinkingRock?), so I'd be happy if somebody can confirm
  this bug for other Java applications. Because the solution is to quit
  the iBus Daemon, I suspect iBus to be the problem.
