• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.5.0-insider (2f2d6502638fa108f8ddbcc5831b38a35d5a1c11, 2016-08-25T06:09:29.461Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT ia32 10.0.14393

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download Sogou pinyin Chinese input method. It's a very popular Chinese input method, almost top 1, so I think maybe this issue will puzzle many people.
2. Install the input method, then use it to input any Chinese word, you can see the word will be repeated in the Editor.

QQ pinyin have the same problem.

I think the problem is caused by the space

@Ruikuan @fantacytyx Can you please try today's insiders version, where we made a fix in this area for mac dead key handling (input was doubled), I believe that fix might fix this issue too.

@alexandrudima This issue has been fixed. But I find a new problem that the chars of the input is difficult to undo by using keyboard Ctrl+z.

@fantacytyx Thank you for confirming. Indeed, let's track the undo problem in #9675

@alexandrudima, Issue fixed. Thank you.

@Ruikuan @fantacytyx I have started some time ago a Wiki page where we collect different manual tests for different input methods. Please notice how the tests are written "for dummies" with all the needed steps spelled out.

Is it possible that maybe you comment in here such a test for the Sogou pinyin Chinese input method. I can then take it from here and add it to the wiki, such that in the future when we make changes in this area we can also test this input method? [There is already a test for Microsoft Pinyin, maybe we can add one for Sogou too, it looks like they behave differently at the OS level)

[Ruikuan]

• Add the Sogou pinyin Chinese input method

  • Install Sogou pinyin Chinese input method
  • Double click downloaded install exe
    
  • Click YES if UAC dialog show
    
  • Click Install immediately in the install UI
    
  • Wait for the process complete, UNCHECK the "install the Sogou browser"
    
  • Uncheck all options, click finish
    
  • Sogou pinyin Chinese input method install successfully
• Focus VS Code and switch OS input method to Chinese and choose Chinese mode and make sure the input method's name is Sogou Pinyin:
  
• Type ni press Space and then hao and press Space. They should be typed in immediately. Here is how Word looks like doing this:

Hope this can be helpful.
