Maybe, and only if the patch is good ofcourse.

Also have a look at this patch:
https://st.suckless.org/patches/fix_ime/

I want to integrate this patch upstream, but in my testing this patch doesn't
improve much. Maybe it improves things for you?

In these specific problems it is very important to describe the problem exactly
and with reproducable steps. Sometimes I cannot reproduce a problem at all or
it is costs me way too much time.
