This is not a bug in Terminator. This is a known bug with certain ibus keyboards. You don't need to be using the keyboard to have it double the characters, just have a buggy keyboard enabled and have ibus running.

The easy solution to this is to kill ibus.

If you absolutely need ibus, you need to go through all the keyboards you have installed and see which one is causing the keyboard doubling. There's lots of stuff in #674 that should help you troubleshoot this problem.

If you need one of these ibus keyboards and cannot disable it, please open a bug with the ibus project. There is nothing in Terminator I can do to fix this.

I'm going to close this. This ground is covered in other issues.

Thanks @mattrose for your comments and references! Yes, I agree closing it. I am digging in about my environment, for now using ibus exit for a while to manage multiple terminals is a good enought workaround.

Thanks
