Bug Description
When spell checking or word suggestions are enabled, they prevent text fields from responding to text changes as they happen. For example, the search-as-you-type feature of the Unity Dash will only update it's search after a word is completed (usually adding a space to the end too).
There is an old upstream bug about this: https:/
In it there is reference to a feature added to Qt5 for tracking tentative, pre-commit strings in input method events: https:/
If we can expose this property for Ubuntu.

As I noted on the upstream bug, note that the feature was experiment (and reverted). So it would need a little more investigation into how to wrangle it back in.
