Please first make sure you are making use of the GTK IM Module, e.g. the 
environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE should be set to "ibus" instead of "xim".

And the two programs you mentioned are problematic themselves:

Firefox only has cursor-following working when IME's pre-edit option was 
enabled. I think this is indeed a firefox bug since version 29 or 30, although 
no one seems to have reported it. The option should be something like "Embed 
Preedit String" lying somewhere in your IME settings.

For Geany, I found an old bug report [1] in JuffEd mentioning the same 
problem, and pointing to Scintilla which also affects Geany. However, the 
Scintilla people say they have fixed it [2]. So perhaps Geany is using older 
version of Scintilla or whatever other reason, I don't know. You can open a 
bug report to Geany about this.
