Synapse, installed from the official repo, crashes after typing anything:

khajvah@khajvah-work:~$ synapse

Workaround

The version from ppa:synapse-core/testing works fine.

It seems like there is a bug as many people having the issue including myself on Ubuntu MATE. Please run $ GTK_IM_MODULE='' synapse into your terminal and that should resolve it for you.

Update

I you could also downgrade to older version that doesn't have have the bug. There I have found an answer by @OccamRazor in in here which works very well when I tested.
