Also also affected on 14.04 with IntelliJ.  I recently switched to
Ubuntu from Linux Mint 14 on which never had this problem (probably
because ibus isn't used there)

Killing ibus resolves the problem.  (Will try XMODIFIERS= on next system
restart)

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.
