I fixed similar problem before. but it still appears for some reason in IIIMF and not updated for default.canna file. I'll update Canna package to improve the kanji conversion on IIIMF then. morpheus> Also, the user interface is very unweildy and inconsistent.

Well, if you are using 0.82 or later, you can commit the preedit string with ENTER on gaim. and also send the message with ENTER then. morpheus> Is there any way to adjust the way it distinguishes between text that morpheus> hasn't been converted yet, where the word breaks for conversion and so morpheus> forth?
