[FLEX-27112] IME.setCompositionString seems to default to Half Width Katakana even when Hiragana is the selected conversion mode

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Adobe Flex SDK 4.1 (Release)
• Component/s: IME Support
• Environment: Affected OS(s): Windows; Affected OS(s): Windows 7; Language Found: Japanese

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. run application file below with Japanese IME on and Hiragana selected
2. press the Go button and observe what happens in the textInput
Note: I'm running this on Flash player standalone, thus no browser version down below.

Actual Results:
a k appears. It's hard to tell, but this is actually a Half Width Katakana k, not a Hiragana k. To test for that, manually delete the k and then type a k again (you will see that they are different - the latter is italic and if you type an 'a' character will yield to a different character than the former).

Expected Results:
a Hiragana k should appear, if I interpret the IME class documentation correctly.

Workaround (if any):
haven't found one, sadly
