/**
 * Input method events contain information about text that is being
 * composed using an input method. Whenever the text changes, the
 * input method sends an event. If the text component that's currently
 * using the input method is an active client, the event is dispatched
 * to that component. Otherwise, it is dispatched to a separate
 * composition window.
 *
 * <p>
 * The text included with the input method event consists of two parts:
 * committed text and composed text. Either part may be empty. The two
 * parts together replace any uncommitted composed text sent in previous events,
 * or the currently selected committed text.
 * Committed text should be integrated into the text component's persistent
 * data, it will not be sent again. Composed text may be sent repeatedly,
 * with changes to reflect the user's editing operations. Committed text
 * always precedes composed text.
