Current Behavior

When I try to type in Chinese using the Microsoft Bopomofo input method, I can successfully type the first word, but not the second one because pressing the space bar doesn't do anything.

I type the first word, press space and move on to the next word.

  2. type the first word and press space
  3. you'll realize you can't.
