Description Ｖ字龍(Vdragon) 2012-03-24 22:35:30 UTC 
Currently tested with H.I.M.E. input method (http://hime.luna.com.tw), but I think other input methods affected as well.

The spacebar key event is apparently take by totem for "Play/Pause" function and doesn't grabbed by input method to detect Ctrl-Space (which is the activation key combination for most of the input methods)

Notice that this bug affect to all users using input method (especially in CJK regions)


More precisely this problem happens when an user tried to search a youtube video (search bar)
