Areohunter;

Your solution works well with my MBP. Much thanks as the failure in chinese inputting really annoys.

Thanks AustraliaPost. Your procedure worked for me. 😀

This probem last for year already. Will Apple fix it officially?

Try swiping down with two fingers. This solved my problem.

Try swiping down with two fingers! This solved my problem! Good Luck! 🙂

Another problem!

I still can write, but it won't put the chinese char into the application.

by the way if it is fixed, user should not do any extra work to make it work.

don't know whether there are any people in the osx development team working on the fix.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and handwriting has been near perfect.

谢谢！

I'm a kind of bi-linguial(Korean & English) who wants to become tri-lingual(adding Chinese to my tongue, I'm studying hard). 😉

Hand-writing is a great idea in function itself but with too many bugs especially when you change writing mode amog 3 totally different shaped characters. 😠

My problem was

Handwriting window appears and the character recognized but the chosen character isn't put on the application.

This happens when you struggling 3 kinds of characters in a document by pressing caps-lock, space + command, control + shift + space, etc. Oh, really annoying.

Whenever this happens, I had to restart the machine but your solution solve this problem.

One of my question -you don't have to answer- is... how did you find this complex procedure? 😁

It seems to me(as an engineer) really difficult to solve because focusing rule for this handwriting drawing window and other applications are totally different. But not impossible to solve. Very surprised during this problem persists for one year.

The problem is that US/Korean apple staff doesn't care about Chinese handwriting and my Chinese is not good enough to blame this.

The only solution to me is to study Chinese very hard enough to report this bug in Chinese to Apple China staff? 😕

Anyway, I wrote the bug report to Apple's feedback website including the amazing solution. I capture video with the link below. Thank you again!

Since 10.8 is now the current OS and apparently doesn't have the bug, it seems unlikely Apple is ever going to do anything about problems like this in the older one.

sound like "get thing right" is not what we should expect from apple.

The Youtube video is captured with following version:

10.8.2 + supplemental update is done in 2012.Oct.8. The video is captured in the last weekend or Monday morning. And I never learnt Chinese before installing 10.8.2. So I've never had happy time editing my study note. 😢

People describing the same problem here also seem to have the similar version. (without supplemental update, seeing their posting time.)

And I doubt this -seemingly synchronization while focusing in/out of some layers including hand-writing IME- can be solved with just the most minor(X.X.NUMBER) version upgrade. I was just surprised X.NUMBER.X's upgrade even skipped solving this problem.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about 10.7, since that is what this forum and this thread are devoted to. My point was that Apple is not going to fix such bugs in 10.7, but only 10.8.

If you do think there is a problem with 10.8, be sure to post it in the forum devoted to that version, so that people using 10.8 will see it. Also it is good to indicate clearly in your posting profile what OS version you are using.

The poster just before you, eric160, said it worked fine in his 10.8.

It has been like this since Leopard...

You are right. I'm sorry too. (Mine is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2 + supplemented update.)

My intention was not only to thanks to one who gives me the workaround but also saying what I'm seeing is different from eric160 is seeing -so I captured video. But I just realized I had forgot why I captured video, thanks.
