Ubuntu 14.10 chrome doesn't detect keyboard input

Question

When I'm using multiple workspaces, especially when I'm writing code and have every one of my workspaces occupied by some process and switch between the workspace that contains google chrome and the other ones, chrome randomly stops accepting my keyboard input. Everytime it happens the only way to have it detect my input again is to restart it, can anyone help me out?

Solution

There is a conflict with ibus

Turning off ibus: in "Language Support" (found under Ubuntu's Preferences) switch "Keyboard input method system" from IBUS to none

Seems like an iBus problem, this might help: askubuntu.com/questions/449361/… bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1307‌​648 code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=364826

I don't see this anywhere in Ubuntu or Google Chrome. Whose preferences should I be looking under?

This solution doesn't work for me :-(

It seems to require a restart as well for me.

I thought this would work for me but it didn't. Turns out I had to turn off (disable) the Intel Virtualization Technology in BIOS. After that this issue finally dissapeard on my system.
