IME doesn't send composition events to browsers on Windows

[petrsimon]

Hi,
I was testing Avro IME both on Windows and Linux and on Windows the IME doesn't send any composition events, while ibus-avro does. The missing composition events break text engines which handle input events on a lower level. I'm using the phonetic IME.
Thanks

Yes, windows version isn't implemented as an IME. Can you be more specific what real world problem you are facing because of that?

Thanks Sarim, that explains it then.

The issue seems to be caused by the fact that Avro is somehow trying to replace the characters is has already sent to the platform during it's internal composition phase. But the text engine I'm working on, is receiving input in a hidden <input> element, removes what's been inserted and moves it to another element which serves as a rich text display.

I can handle regular IME for CJK languages quite well and obviously non-standard inputs like Avro don't work. I hope that explains a bit the issue I'm facing.

I've received complains from Bangla users that e.g. typing sthi produces স্তথি instead of স্থি.
