Build Identifier: version 3.735 If a StyledText widget has an opened IME candidate list, the input string is also shown in the widget itself – it only can be meant to be a preview since it's not yet confirmed by the VerifyKeyListener/VerifyListener. In this state, the StyledText's method getText() returns that (possibly invalid) input string. PS: I didn't check it on other platforms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start the snippet 2. change to a locale with IMEs (Chinese/Japanese) 3. type in something to open a candidate list 4. move the mouse over the StyledInput widget to cause getText() method call

indeed, the preedit string is in the text model during composition, and is returned by getText(). Note that when the preedit string is commit it is send for verify before being permanently insert into the text buffer. if the composition is cancel the preedit string is removed from the buffer. how is the current behavior causing you trouble ?
