Text input fields get disabled when adding tags

[Sammyhawkrad]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

This happens after some time of usage. The Add Tag dialogue box works as expected when I start using JOSM. I am able to add inputs in the text field but after some time it gets disabled and I am only able to select existing values from the drop-down. When this happens all text input fields in JOSM get disabled, even for the changeset comment and source fields.

It just happens arbitrarily and I don't know exactly how to reproduce it but I mostly use the CTRL+A shortcut to add new tags and I usually get this problem after that.

What is the expected result?

I should be able to type text values in the key and value fields in the Add Tag dialogue

What happens instead?

I am only able to select existing values

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

Closed as duplicate of #22766.
Other people have mentioned ibus as a potential source for the problem. You may or may not want to remove it from your system.

A workaround can be found at comment:3:ticket:22766. It pretty much involves finding another text field in JOSM and editing that.
