The selected text does not have be Chinese characters, any character just disappears.
The problem happens both on:
- mouse drag
- ctrl + A
selection methods.
I installed the Chinese input through the simplest GUI method possible on the control panel.
This does not happen on Chromium, only Firefox.
Happens with Ubuntu 14.04, and Firefox on --safe-mode to turn off all addons.

If you are using ibus-pinyin now, you can try to use ibus-libpinyin package instead of ibus-pinyin.
