This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.62.4-1~ubuntu19.10.1
---------------
glib2.0 (2.62.4-1~ubuntu19.10.1) eoan; urgency=medium
* No-change backport from unstable to eoan (LP: #1850932).
+ Contains fix for LP: #1844853 - "IBus no longer works in Qt applications
after upgrade"
glib2.0 (2.62.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload
[ Steve Langasek ]
* debian/tests/build: Make cross-test friendly (Closes: #946355)
[ Iain Lane ]
* debian/tests/build: Style fixes
[ Simon McVittie ]
* New upstream release
glib2.0 (2.62.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload
* Rename pkg.glib2.0.noinsttest build profile to noinsttest.
This is now registered on <https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec>.
glib2.0 (2.62.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload
* New upstream release
- Drop patches that were applied upstream
* Don't build libglib2.0-tests under pkg.glib2.0.noinsttest build profile.
This is a prototype of the proposed standard build profile noinsttest.
If the build profiles include both nocheck and pkg.glib2.0.noinsttest,
we can drop the libdbus-1-dev build-dependency without harming test
coverage or altering the contents of binary packages.

Bug description:
[Impact]
IBus was broken for Qt applications as a regression due to the fix of
CVE-2019-14822. As a result the IBus patch was disabled temporarily,
which fixed IBus from a usability POV.
The real fix has been made in glib2.0, and the updates in -proposed
will allow the IBus patch to be re-enabled.
[Test Case]
* On a standard Ubuntu {eoan,disco,bionic,xenial} installation
- Upgrade the glib2.0 packages from
{eoan,disco,bionic,xenial}-proposed
- Upgrade the ibus packages from
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
- Install some IBus input method, e.g. ibus-libpinyin
- Install some Qt application, e.g. Kate
* Relogin (maybe reboot)
* Add the input method to the input sources
* Open the Qt app and try to input something using the IBus IM
=> Find that the transliteration works as expected
[Regression Potential]
The applicable patches origin from glib upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/merge_requests/1176
Consequently the changes have been reviewed by the glib maintainer, but also tested by the IBus maintainer, by me (gunnarhj), and - of course - the author Simon McVittie. The changes have been in Debian unstable since 2019-10-30.
[Original description]
Kubuntu Release 18.04.3 LTS
Expected behavior:
ibus continues working as before after applying security update 1.5.17-ubuntu5.1 from version 1.5.17-ubuntu5.
Observed behavior:
ibus is not usable anymore in Qt applications.
After updating ibus and the related packages ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3, libibus-1.0-5 and gir1.2-ibus-1.0 all from version 1.5.17-ubuntu5 to 1.5.17-ubuntu5.1, I can no longer use ibus in Qt applications. Using shift-space no longer changes the selected input method and even when i switch to the mozc input method in a gtk application, i can not use it in any Qt applications.
When starting qtconfig in a terminal, I also get the following message:
Bus::open: Connect ibus failed!
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
This bug was not present in version 1.5.17-3ubuntu5 and I also
confirmed that downgrading the packages to version 1.5.17-3ubuntu4
restores ibus functionality in Qt applications.
