When switching IME, characters dangled

[zk4]

kitty version: 0.16
system version: mac 10.12.6 (16G1710)

when switching IME from Chinese to English with <command +space> key pressed , characters dangled.
In Kitty 0.16

I test it on iTerm2 and Mac Terminal , they both do fine. When switching the IME, they will clear the dangled characters in the screen.
In iTerm2

The characters seem to be left on the screen buffer. When switching IME, that little character-dangled aera does not redraw. If I type some characters to overwrite the area of dangled characters. It will be overwrited.

most likely glfw/coca_window.m will need to be modified to intercept this event and clear any pending IME.

@kovidgoyal Is there any plan to fix this in latest version?

@kovidgoyal
Thanks for your fix! That's quick ! I tried 56e5c8b ， But problem still exist , 😅 just become a little smaller .

When typing in NVIM v0.5.0-370-g5d5b068d5 in latest kitty, some characters still dangled.
Those dangled chars is produced by vim extension coc-imselect with coc.vim.

and I tested it in iterm2. iterm2 seems ok.

Well I cant replicate the issue, so someone that can is going to have to
improve the patch.

Or simply press the key to cacnel the IME before switching.

Solved. In case someone encounter the same problem. Here is the solution.

In vim, :Cocconfig
"imselect.enableFloating": false
