Input composition: Korean letters can be heard in edit fields in apps where NVDA is told to sleep for a while #7208

Hi,

A Korean contributor reports:

If using an app with NVDA put to sleep (NVDA+Shift+S) and when entering Korean letters into an edit field, NVDA will announce Korean letters.

STR:

  1. With Korean IME installed, open Notepad.
  2. Type an English sentence.
  3. Type some Korean letters (such as "rkskek" with Korean IME set to native input).
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 but with NVDA told to sleep.

Expected: NVDA does not announce Korean letters as one types them. Actual: English letters are not announced while Korean letters are despite NVDA sleeping.

I was able to confirm this. Thanks.

The functions in NVDAHelper.py that receive/handle stuff related to input methods don't currently check for sleepMode. They need to be tweaked to do so.

cc: @lukaszgo1 interesting side issue regarding sleep mode.
