Description

I confirmed that this also happens with ATOK and the standard Japanese IME built in to macOS.

_[Originally reported](https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/909) by @naokomc_:

#### Steps to reproduce
1. Add [Google IME Japanese](https://www.google.co.jp/ime/) to your Mac
2. Select hiragana = "ひらがな (Google)" as your input method
3. Start typing "kyo" in a Simplnote note and select one of the date formats
4. You get a garbled text as a preview
5. When you actually select a date format, the confirmed text is displayed correctly.

#### OS version
macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on macOS with Google IME Japanese, ATOK, or the standard Japanese IME, following the listed steps and observing the date-format preview. The issue does not name a source file or test, so trace the editor's handling of unconfirmed Japanese input. Done means the preview remains readable during Hiragana conversion and the confirmed date-format text remains correct.
