Users of languages with non-ascii characters type in both alphanumeric input mode and IME mode. If a user accidentally types in MathQuill with the IME on, incomplete entries are made and get stuck, and sometimes the backspace and arrow keys also stop working.
These are not actually stuck; they are typed in the hidden textarea, but the user cannot see that they are in a composition session, so the keys look as if they don't work.
It's preferable to block text input from the IME, as it's not needed to type formulas.
