A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When inputing Chinese character with Microsoft's Input Method Editor (IME) to a Java application, the IME will show "suggested characters" in a popup window. However, after installing the latest 6u10-b28, the "suggested characters" do not show anymore (see screenshots in attachment for details).

The last known working version was 6u10-b25. b28, b31, and b32 are missing the "suggested characters".
