Created attachment 309315 [details]
partial backtraces of mate-terminal and xfce4-dict crashes

1) Open the context menu on any text input field in any gtk2-based application by pressing the right mouse button. I checked this bug in three applications:
a. XFCE4 dictionary v0.7.1;
b. MATE terminal v1.8.1;
c. Sylpheed v3.5.0beta1.

2) Select "Input methods" -> "Multipress".

3) Open the menu again, select "Input methods" -> "None".

4) The program crashes immediately.

My OS is Debian Testing with all the latest updates. uname -a:
Linux note 4.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.3-1 (2015-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

NOTE: this bug also happens with gtk2 apps under fully updated Windows 8.

Crashes in gtk3 as well. Simple reproducer:

Open gtk3-demo
Go to an entry example
Open inspector
Set im-module property of the entry to multipress
Change im-module property to anything else
Crash
