Unfortunately, that workaround doesn't work. In fact, I already have QT_IM_MODULE=ibus in my environment. The only thing I am thinking is whether anything has changed with QT that caused this for all QT apps or just Telegram... I can confirm that ibus input works with qt4 apps though.

Same, but other qt5 programs seem to work fine. It's interesting how telegram being the only program I need for input method fails to work...

Same problem, but if I switch to ubuntu's own source apt install telegram-desktop and set QT_IM_MODULE env, the IM can work perfectly.
Is there some update or new patch made the IME behavior broken ?
