Oxide doesn't consistently call reset() on input method when changing fields

[Michael Sheldon]

Steps to reproduce

1) stop maliit-server

2) Run "MALIIT_DEBUG=true maliit-server"

3) Open the gmail app

4) Open a new message

5) Switch between input fields

Expected result

The output from maliit should show "DEBUG: inputMethod::reset()" every time the field is changed

Actual result

This only happens some of the time (seemingly after having input some text, but not always)

Would this explain a bug where the content that was just input in a text field is pasted onto the next field when focusing it? I was filling in a form with "first name" and "last name" fields, I entered my first name, then tapped the "last name" field and started typing my last name, and realized after 3 letters or so that the first name had been prepended to those 3 letters.

Yep, this is almost certainly the cause of that issue. Preedit gets cleared on reset(), so if reset() isn't called and there's something still in the preedit buffer then it would get added to the next field you start typing in.
