If I put my man into complified chinese input mode, and try to type men/门 (as
in 'tian(1)-an(2)-men(1) - 天安门'.

I have just noticed that it works fine in this textarea...so that is another
data point.

I first noticed it when I was trying to type tiananmen in the search area of
http://zh.wikipedia.org/ - it wouldn't allow me to enter the 'men'. It shows it
in the list from which I can choose, but when I select it, it seems to want to
make it a double character.

I then noticed it didn't work in the search area at the top of the browser
window. I am not sure what the difference is between those areas and this area,
because it works fine here - 天按门. <shrug>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.set focus to the search area at the top of the window (mine is set to google)
2.do cmd-space to switch to simplified chinese
3.type 'm'-'e'-'n' and 'space'

Actual Results:  
does not render '门'

Expected Results:  
should render '门'
