The code that maybe flushed IM state before processing a key event
became ineffective at commit 7716b62fa2, since the handle_event()
method on MetaWaylandTextInput won't handle key events, only IM
events and touch/button press events causing IM state to be
committed. Basically, the events that directly change the IM state.
Move this ineffective code to the the filter_event() method handling
the key presses in order to let the IM maybe filter them, and handle
them so that any key event that is let through (both key events
previously injected by the IM, and key events that the IM chooses to
ignore) will ensure that the pending IM state is flushed before the
key event is handled and emitted to the client.
This brings back lost guarantees of orderly event emission when IMs
alternate key events and IM actions.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
