Hi,

THe support for InputMethod is done a bit by hand right now, because the 
workarea of LyX is completely built by ourselves. I do not have any idea 
of the culprits of Chinese editing.

What version of LyX is that, by the way?

I would be taker of help in this department, even concerning the set up 
of things like ibus for keyboard switching. We have issues with that in 
LyX 2.4.0dev.

Best regards,
JMarc
