Based on my reading of:

  http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/kde-input-style.html

In the SCIM style of input for various far-eastern Asian languages, the result (completition) is built up as more keys are typed.

The problem seems to come down to whether possibily completions are displayed *in* the widget (such as a spinbox), or *over* the widget.

Over the Widget means that the completion is not pasted back to the widget until the completion is finalised. A spin-box having a constraint (eg. "great that zero") may complain at a half-completed result and instead set the spinbox value to zero.

Suse suggest "Over the widget" where completions are displayed in a separate window until finalised.
