KeyBoard stops working with RubyMine IDE

KeyBoard stops working with the RubyMine IDE, but can still select and move with the mouse. This is a common problem. My system configuration is as follows:

RubyMine 7.1.4 runs on Ubuntu 14.04 and Open JDK Java 7.

How to cope with these problems?

The keyboard input is sometimes blocked when IBus is active.

When IDEA is used on a system with IBus installed, and keyboard input is sometimes blocked by IBus daemons. Dispatching Thread event is active. All other events are delivered in order - that is, you can select the text or call up the menu with the mouse.

Setting IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE = 1 seems to help. Note that this parameter applies to IBus, so either install it in the shell profile or restart the IBus daemon with this option exported. Run the following command on the terminal to do this.

export IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=1 ibus-daemon -d -r

Works like a charm without even restarting the IDE.
