Over-the-Spot Style

As you type text, an over-the-spot style preedit area expands to the right of the insertion point and overwrites any existing display. After you finish typing and processing the preedit area input (in other words, once the text is converted, committed, or otherwise disposed), the processed preedit text is inserted at the insertion point and the preedit area disappears.

Existing text located to the right of the insertion point appears to be overwritten during typing, but when the processed text is inserted at the insertion point, previously existing text is moved and displayed further to the right. This text movement accommodates the input text being inserted.
