Why is this one program, Anki, not accepting Japanese input?

Question

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10. I have installed the latest version of the flashcard program Anki. I am using Mozc for Japanese input.

I have used Anki on Ubuntu computers in the past and never had a problem with Japanese input.

However, this time, even though Japanese works on every other program, it won't input in Anki. When I switch to Japanese input mode, the icon in my Gnome panel indicates I'm in Japanese input mode, but, whatever I type in any field in the Anki program just goes in directly as English characters.

How do I make Japanese possible for Anki the way it is for everything else?

Although it seems this answer does not work for all people in all cases, this seems to have solved it for me.

I simply edited the ibus entry in startup applications to say:

ibus-daemon --xim
