Issue Description
In Gnome wayland, get_surrounding_text() does not get an updated text when the cursor position is moved with the mouse.
It does get an update when the cursor position is moved using the arrow keys.
This problem exists only in Gnome Wayland, it works in Gnome Xorg.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open gedit and put some text into the buffer
- Use ibus-typing-booster
- Follow the log file and grep for `get_context`: `tail -F ~/.local/share/ibus-typing-booster/debug.log | grep get_context`
- Type a character somewhere in gedit using typing booster
The log file shows something like
mfabian@f42:~$ tail -F .local/share/ibus-typing-booster/debug.log | grep get_context
