Alright. I did lots of experimenting with this, and I think the issue is 
that you can't call qApp->inputMethod()->show() from wherever you want. 
In my case, the call has to come from the widget that deals with output, 
not from the widget that deals with input.

In my case, I have a custom QScrollArea widget which implements the 
input. It manages a custom QWidget which does the painting. When I moved 
the qApp->inputMethod()->show() call to the painter widget, the problem 
was fixed.

I have no idea why that is though.
