So the underlying problem here is that words in preedit don't get
committed when buttons are pressed unless the app explicitly calls
Qt.inputMethod.commit(). This wouldn't be noticed with other keyboard
layouts as they don't use their predictive modes in the wifi password
prompt, however the pinyin keyboard always uses this mode as it's the
only method by which pinyin characters can be entered.

I'm not sure this can be reliably solved in the keyboard. Handling the
committing in the keyboard on focus changes seems problematic, since
often the text field might be getting processed or destroyed by
something the button press is doing simultaneously, so the button really
needs to explicitly ask for the text to be committed before it does
anything else.

The most general solution would be for Qt.inputMethod.commit() to be
called by default by AbstractButton, this requires some more discussion
with the SDK team though; I've opened the following bug to track the
state of this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1324955

In the mean time any apps encountering this can fix the issue themselves
by running "Qt.inputMethod.commit()" in their own onPressed methods.

Title:
  Password prompt is shown repeatedly after properly entering the
  password using pinyin input method

Bug description:

  Summary:

  When trying to connect to a protected network using pinyin input
  method, the snap decision keeps coming back as if the password were
  entered incorrectly, even if it has not.  Switching to english
  keyboard makes this work as expected.
