I completely agree with you.

In gtk+, when commiting all the text in preedit, it is necessary to commit 
after eliminating preedit. That is, the text of preedit is not erased at all 
only by commiting. I remember that the operation of XIM resembled to that. 

Also in Qt, I think it is good that even if QEvent::InputMethodEnd is sent, 
preedit at the time is not erased.
