Bug 2617

Summary: Composing words with chinese input method in iOS will receive SDL_TEXTINPUT events
Product: SDL Reporter: dudu <hellodudu86>
Component: eventsAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: NEW --- QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: 10774497
Version: 2.0.3   
Hardware: iPhone/iPod touch   
OS: iOS (All)   

Description dudu 2014-06-30 04:10:53 UTC 
This will not happen in windows while composing words with chinese input method.

For example:
if I need input a chinese word "靠", I should press 3 keys including "k", "a" and "o". In windows, I will receive SDL_TEXTINPUT after composed "kao" and choosed the "靠" word from method.
but in iOS, I received SDL_TEXTINPUT while composing "k" "a" "o", received 3 times.
so I don't know how to deal with this event, because I don't know whether the user is inputting "kao" or "靠".

Creating multiple duplicates doesn't help solving a problem.
