Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an out of bounds access when deleting composition during Chinese IME. What's happening is that we're receiving a CompositionCompleted before receiving the TextUpdate to tell us to delete the last character in the composition. This creates two problems for us:
_activeTextStart
gets set to_inputBuffer.length()
when sending the character to the terminal, so when theTextUpdate
comes right after theCompositionCompleted
event,_activeTextStart
is out of sync.This PR fixes the second issue, by updating
_activeTextStart
during aTextUpdate
in case we run into this issue.The first issue is trickier to resolve since we assume that if the text server api tells us a composition is completed, we should send what we have. It'll be tracked here: #5110.
At the very least, this PR will let users continue to type in Chinese IME without it breaking, but it will still be annoying to see the first letter of your composition reappear after deleting it.

Validation Steps Performed
Play around with Chinese IME deleting and composing, and play around with Korean and Japanese IME to see that it still works as expected.
