Title:
  [OSK] Chinese users have to scroll word ribbon to find correct
  character

Status in ubuntu-keyboard:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Entering characters via pinyin can result in a lot of potential
  candidates on the word ribbon, sometimes requiring users to scroll the
  word ribbon a lot before they find the character they require.

  There are two areas that need investigating here:

  1) Can we order the pinyin predictions in such a way as to make
  commonly used characters more easily accessible

  2) Can we modify the UI to allow the word ribbon to be expanded to
  show all characters at once (e.g. a button on the far right of the
  word ribbon that causes the word ribbon to display characters over the
  entire keyboard area until a character is selected).
