IME and TabTip.exe not working in some case

[flier268]

Describe the bug When I use the Chinese input method, if I press Backspace, I won't be able to input any characters. After selecting a word, the text is sent out, but Avalonia does not receive it (or it does not appear on the TextBox). The current workaround is to press Space once when this happens, and then it will resume normal operation.

To Reproduce

1. put a TextBox on UI
2. Debug
3. Open TabTip.exe
4. Click backspace
5. Enter some text using an input method editor (IME) such as Zhuyin (Bopomofo) input method.
6. The char does not appear

Expected behavior The text appears in the TextBox when entered using an IME such as Zhuyin Input Method.

I tested with Sogou input method and I found this bug only available in Preview 6(But Preview 5 works well). In Preview 6 Sogou IME can not input anything no matter whether you input Backspace.

Bopomofo is special in terms of committing the composition string. How do you usually finish a sequence and start typing a new one? Some IMEs use the space key and some the return key.

[flier268]

It does not have a special key to finish. The traditional approach is to press " ", "ˊ", "ˇ", "ˋ", "·" to finish it, but there are some new methods to do that. For example, if I want to input "你好", I should type "ㄋㄧˇㄏㄠˇ", but in some cases, I can just type "ㄋㄏ", and then choose the first one on the bar.

@flier268 @Gillibald is this issue still alive in the latest changes/preview8?
