--- Comment #3 from Caolán McNamara <[email protected]> ---
This seems to be because there are two ways to input text, "directly" with key
press events and through the input method. And the AutoCorrect is only hooked
to the key press event case. Somewhere along the line gtk started preferring to
supply more via the IM.

In the main document situation we go through a big hack tower in
GtkSalFrame::IMHandler::signalIMCommit to see if something received through the
Input Method is something that could be represented as a single key press event
and if so send one of those instead. While those comments just forward the
input method data onwards without the second-guessing hackery.

Probably better to attempt to do AutoCorrect for text received through the IM
rather than continue trying to out-guess the IM and reroute to the older
mechanism
