Bug Description

Currently the suggested pinyin characters are almost always wrong, with the correct suggestions being a long way down the list of possible candidates.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable pinyin layout

2. Type "pinyin" and press space

Expected output

拼音

Actual output

A different pair of characters.
