It's input focus related and I haven't seen it happening on any other application or even other websites so looks like a twitter bug.

You can also reproduce it by simply using the volume up/down keys on your keyboard. Since we (g-s-d in this case) need to take an X grab to implement global shortcuts, applications get a FocusOut/FocusIn pair of events. They should deal with that gracefully.
Comment 2 sangu 2013-02-15 15:30:12 UTC 
Is bug 817329 duplicated?
bug 817329 ( search entry in news.naver.com ) happens by using volume up/down keys.

Yes, same thing. Not sure where the bug is, technically, since I don't know much about web development but it's either the browser or the websites.

I found that there's similar problem in empathy

I can reproduce in Edit Custom Messages entry, 
When I switching input source in that entry, cursor is moved out or first string.
Comment 6 fujiwara 2013-02-18 08:58:00 UTC 
Probably I'd suggest this is a twitter bug.
When I type Alt+Tab, the cursor is also moved in twitter but I'd suggest twitter not to do that.

The workaround is only to choose the engine on ibus icon menu by mouse.
I have no other ideas.

Then, this issue doesn't happens in fedora 16 (ibus-1.4.1-1.fc16.x86_64)

Right. ibus 1.4 uses the local key binding with gtk-im-context and ibus 1.5 uses the global key binding with XI2 and it causes FocusIn/Out as comment #1 described.
ibus won't go back to gtk-im-context way and I have no idea to fix this in ibus side.
Comment 9 fujiwara 2013-03-15 08:14:50 UTC 
It seems this is fixed with the latest twitter + firefox-19.0-1.fc19 .
