In 0.16, we have added support for IME input method on Windows only. We have not added IME support for Linux/macOS in 0.17

Can you fix this bug first? Now we copy text from other places into the game, which makes our game experience very poor.

I found this, maybe it will be useful（viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23934&p=151871&hilit=IME#p151871）

They aren't using Allegro anymore.

Thanks for the report and sorry for taking so long to fix it.
It should be fixed in 0.17.42

Unfortunatelly, I couldn't make IME implementation in SDL work in any reasonable way so we had to port the code we used in 0.16 with Allegro.

SDL is handling windows events quite differently than Allegro did, so the code ended up being different and I hope it will work just as it used to with 3rd party IME software. I tested just with Microsoft's IME in Windows 10.
