Can't type japanese with search widget of 4.0 beta 3.

[YukiOZAWA]

When use Romaji Input mode in Japanese keyboard, We must enter two or more characters of the Roman alphabet.

For example, to enter "か" (kana character), need type "ka" (Roman character).

But textbox of Search widget, It will be converted automatically when type one Roman character.

Therefore, I can not enter the expected characters.

This behavior does occur in Google Chrome and FireFox.

I can enter kana character in correctly in Internet Explorer 11.

Please see about "kana":

I just tested this out and was able to reproduce this issue in Chrome. The IME seems to be working correctly in Firefox Developer Edition. (I haven't tried the regular version of Firefox, but I suspect most users will be using the regular Firefox rather than the developer edition.)

Note that this issue is not limited to the input of the Japanese language. I tested with a Chinese IME as well, and it has the same issue.

For anyone who is not familiar with using IMEs and would like to reproduce the issue in your development environment, this article shows how to set up the IME in Windows.
