Look like this problem exist for long time. But as far as I remember last LTS 12.04 ibus does not behavior like this. It change when I use the shortcut key.
I can confirm the Ibus-daemon is working. When I use my shortcut key "CTRL + space", I can see the input change from English to Chinese in the daemon at panel (in my case).
