The story editor requests and handles inputMethodEvent() but the text frame editor does not. http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qinputmethodevent.html Also, the story editor is a high level QTextObject that supports inputMethodEvent() while the text frame is a low level QWidget that does not have a default inputMethodEvent().  https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-38450
