System Information
Operating system: Linux-6.5.9-arch2-1-x86_64-with-glibc2.38 64 Bits, WAYLAND UI
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Graphics (renoir, LLVM 16.0.6, DRM 3.54, 6.5.9-arch2-1) AMD 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 23.2.1-arch1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.1.0 Alpha, branch: Unknown, commit date: Unknown Unknown, hash: Unknown (git commit d31c61edee main branch)
Worked: never worked

Short description of error
IME support does not work properly with wlroots-based wayland compositors such as sway.
Text is typed twice and deleting does not work. Other keys like backspace or esc do not work either, and other input languages are ignored even if I switch to them. Sometimes all text is removed after I move to another text field (First video).

Tested environment:
Fcitx5 version: 5.1.1
Fcitx5 modules: anthy (5.1.1), hangul(5.1.0)
Sway version: 1.8.1
Wlroots version: 0.16.2

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Get blender build with this commit: a38a49b073
Open up blender on wayland system with IME
try typing some text

Blender was crashed with this error when I tested it. But I couldn't reproduce it.
It happened when I clicked on the text field filled with "TexDraw" on the Texture Paint tab.

This issue is different with #114208 because this issue is you can at least test blender has some conntection with IME.

This patch a38a49b073 is using text-input-unstable-v3
And wlroots also supports text-input-unstable-v3
