Can type only English despite activated other input methods

Hello everyone!

I am relatively new to Linux, so some of my descriptions might not be precise, sorry in advance.

After a recent package update, my ibus does not work properly in most of the applications.

I can normally add, remove and switch input methods, yet it only outputs English characters no matter what input method is activated at the moment. I used ibus-rime and ibus-mozc to type Chinese and Japanese, and they worked really well until these few days.

There are exceptions. For example, in ArcMenu and the Alt+F2 dialog, I can type Chinese and Japanese characters as usual, but other applications simply do not recognise it.

Searched a lot on Google, but I found no working solution, perhaps my keywords are not correct for finding one.

Tried to add the following environment variables but no luck:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

I have seen several posts over the past few days mentioning that some AUR packages may need to be rebuilt after the 2022-05-13 update. Check out the top post here.

What are some possible packages that I need to reinstall?
I tried to rebuild ibus ibus-rime ibus-mozc, but that does not resolve the problem.
