Dear m17n team,
I came across this bug https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=609435 with Chrome for Malayalam swanalekha input method(attached and an older version available in m17n-contrib repo too). This input method follows lookup table mechanism similar to the one used from zh-util.mim
Basically, the content in predit is repeating in every commit-preedit trigger, or a new key sequnce is started.
The input method works perfectly fine with Firefox or any other application in Linux. Only chrome 50+ has the above mentioned issue.
I guess is it is a bug in Chrome, but I would like to verify if I did something wrong in the mim that can cause this particular behavior.
