Everything worked under Ibus but when I switched to fcitx 4 both my Chinese and Japanese input methods stopped working for all apps, not just JavaFX. This makes me think that I'm not setting up fcitx correctly. I did reboot at each step as I changed the configuration.

I did not test it with fcitx since gtk uses ibus. I think it's possible to use fcitx by installing a gtk im module.
