Hangul input method fights with XWayland apps if set to activate Hangul instead of Latin characters by default(?)

[Blumoop]

What Happened?

When using XWayland apps on Secure Session, the GUI for the Hangul input method will appear and flicker in the middle of the app window/screen, no matter if US or Hangul is currently set, which doesn't allow you to select any elements or type in Xwayland apps. (e.g. Steam).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Hangul input method from system settings
2. Install the GNOME control center and set Hangul to activate by default when switching from default layout (This is how I use ibus-hangul so it functions to it's fxcit counterpart)
3. Use a XWayland app and try to click on buttons, elements, drop downs, etc, it won't be selected as the small GUI flickers on top along with the XWayland app icon switching positions repeatedly on the background apps section of the dock.

Expected Behavior

The GUI should not be appearing and flickering preventing using much of XWayland apps, works fine with Wayland apps.

Installing GNOME Control Center on Pantheon is not expected because it's a setting app for a different DE. Would you elaborate on this with some screenshots so that we can do the same thing on Pantheon without installing it?

I have installed it originally to get my Microsoft account to work in the Elementary Mail app. I was trying to find out how to get Hangul to be set to Korean characters by default when switching the layout but wasn't able to find it anywhere in the Elementary settings.

And I have had a brain fart as it turns out you can just fire ibus-setup in the terminal and use that instead of the GNOME Control Center counterpart for ibus.

Going to Preferences and set the Hangul setting to what I currently have, and run a XWayland app like Steam should hopefully reproduce the issue.

Thank you for your info. Am I correct that you meant checking on the "Start in Hangul mode" in your screenshot?

Yes.
