[Bug 1884453] [NEW] Firefox, input-language-changing shortcut issue

[Yen-Yung Chang]

Public bug reported:

(First of all, I believe I reported a few times the similar issue
before, but I couldn't find the old posts, so apologize if people find
this repeating.)

The bug is that I need to hit input-language-changing shortcut
(ctrl+space) "twice" and "quickly" to trigger the change in boxes on
webpages. I am using GCIN 2.9.0. There's no problem for changing input
in URL or search boxes on the Firefox UI frame that are outside the
webpages; I can hit ctrl+space once and it works. On the webpages, not
just that I need to hit the shortcut twice, but the hits need to be
sufficiently back-to-back, like less than a second. This issue also
doesn't exist in Chrome.

Thank you very much for the help!
