@0312birdzhang Thank you a lot for mentioning PinyinIME! I always thought I would lose a proper input method for Chinese when I switch to a community port. I’m not interested in Android compatibility or application support, but features like IME would make me buy a license.

Seems it was fixed in 4.2.0.19
