Input methods are used in the CJK world to help the writing. The technique is very similar to autocompletion method. Try '-dbg key' to see if it used. If yes, you should see things like "preeditString = xxx" and "commitString = xxx".

Maybe this is a similar problem. With today's svn, character feeding to LyX looked slow enough to perplex CJK (i.e. input methods) users. So far, I don't observe any "loss" of characters, but timing is as:

        (type one sentence) -> (convert using IM) -> (feed to lyx)
        -> (wait 3 seconds)...

        (type a little long sentence) -> (convert using IM)
        -> (feed to lyx) -> (wait 10 seconds)...

I think this timing is long enough to interfere thinking of a writer. It happened on FreeBSD with fairly powerful machines. Somehow, it was not that bad on Windows (I observe *some* slowness but acceptable).
