Description

The Linux version of the official viewer has just been restarted, so the priority for this support is quite low.

Although it is supported by the Linux version of Firestorm viewer, I think it would be more appropriate to support it from the Linux version of the official viewer.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Before and After videos to understand the expected over-the-top display behavior for multibyte input through ibus/mozc on the Linux official viewer. No source files, tests, or entry points are named; done means reproducing the After behavior when entering multibyte characters.
