Public bug reported:
In Language & Text enable Zh 中文. I have spell checking, auto
correction, and word suggestions turned off.
In messaging app, tap on the bottom bar to compose a message. Select
"Chinese - Pinyin".
Type the letters "w" "o" "z" "a" "i" "l" "u" "s" "h" "a" "n" "g"
intending to write "我在路上" ("I'm on my way")
Keyboard displays the following options: "wozailushang", "我在", "我“, "沃"
etc
Select "我在".
Keyboard enters "我在" and returns to its waiting state. It has forgotten
about the "lushang" so I have to re-type it.
Every other Chinese keyboard remembers the additional typing and allows
you to continue selecting characters.
Most other Chinese keyboards use the extra context to make a better
guess as to the overall meaning. For example, on OSX, when I type
"yiju" the first option is "一句". But if I type "yijuliangde" it is
ready with "一举两得". This conditions users to type quite a lot of pinyin
in one go, delaying making a selection until they've completed the
current thought.
