I believe this bug is a different bug than the one reported in bug
#133803. In this comment:

Ming Hua wrote: "This [i.e. the behavior reported] is expected for non
en_US locales." Other comments indicate that the problem reported in
bug report #133803 is triggered by non en_US locales. However, what I
am reporting here is triggered even when the locale is en_US.
Moreover, I've found a way to reproduce the bug at will. By following
the these steps, I can reproduce the bug with a 100% success rate:
1. Go into the search field in Firefox. I mean the one which sends
search queries to web sites like Google.
2. Hit the hot key combination which activates scim. (In scim's Global
Setup tab, it is called "Trigger". Mine is set to Ctrl-Alt-Spacebar.)
3. Start typing so that the completion list comes up under the search
field. In my case, typing "t" is enough to bring a whole slew of
completions.
4. While the completion list is **VISIBLE**, hit the hot key combination
which brings up the input method selection menu. (In scim's Global
Setup tab, it is called "Show input method menu". Mine is set to Ctrl-
Alt-Right.)
At this point, scim displays the abnormal behavior reported in the
original bug report.
I've also discovered today that killing and restarting scim after
experiencing this bug can make the system unresponsive. It seems to be
due to a memory leak in scim which is triggered after restarting scim.
I've seen scim-launcher and scim-bridge gobble up to 2.5G of RAM after
restarting scim. On my system, the VM trashing makes the system
unresponsive for 5-10minutes. I can work around the problem by using
the following command to start scim again:
$ (ulimit -v 512000 ; scim -d)
