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.
