Keyboard Stops Responding While Using Google Docs in Chrome Browser

Ubuntu, Unity, 14.10

When I'm using Google Docs in Chrome, as soon as "All changes saved to drive" appears at the top of the document, the keyboard stops responding. Everything else, the mouse, touchpad, etc, all still work and applications respond as normal to mouseclicks, just the keyboard does not respond in any application or window. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer.

It does NOT happen in Google Sheets. I haven't tried any of the other Google office products.

I have the same problem but not just with Google Docs. I've noticed it with Facebook, Google Docs, other forums and basically anything else. Looks to be a Chrome problem specifically.

I have to open up task manager and kill the process for Chrome and re-open it for it to respond again.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 on a 13" MacBook.

Have you found a solution to this at all?

UPDATE: I found a solution
This thread seems to have it, turn off ibus in the system settings-language support and it'll solve it.
