I have a switcher in my panel, but it does not look like yours: https://postimg.cc/Jyy7JSpt
It always shows the same keyboard icon whether or not I changed to another IM in other application, which do not have the issue. Even when I switch globally to Pinyin input, IceCat simply writes normal keyboard characters. No Chinese character choice pops up. Basically I would not know by only looking at Icecat, that anything changed, regardless of which IM I choose. OK, I only have German and Chinese Pinyin installed currently. But it seems Icecat is completely unaware of any IMs I set in Fcitx.
