Title:
  TextField does not receive live change events when spell checking or
  suggestions is enabled on the keyboard

Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When spell checking or word suggestions are enabled, they prevent text
  fields from responding to text changes as they happen.  For example,
  the search-as-you-type feature of the Unity Dash will only update it's
  search after a word is completed (usually adding a space to the end
  too).

  There is an old upstream bug about this: https://bugreports.qt-
  project.org/browse/QTBUG-22298

  In it there is reference to a feature added to Qt5 for tracking
  tentative, pre-commit strings in input method events:
  https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/6682/

  If we can expose this property for Ubuntu.Components.TextField (either
  directly of via TextInput upstream) it would allow dynamic search
  fields to still allow spell checking and word suggestions. Otherwise
  the developer has to disable one to allow the other.
