Bluefish is a GTK editor that runs on Windows, it has a similar floating input 
bar, but does not have the same bug where the input buffer is flushed into a 
series of ctrl+ commands (the input is just all dropped if you ctrl+space out).

A funny thing happens if you use win+shift+s to activate the Windows screenshot 
snipping tool to take screenshots like these. After you take a snip, Bluefish 
and Geany both immediately dump the latin characters in the IME buffer to the 
text out field, but also inserting a series of apostrophes to separate what it 
expects would be word divisions, had you selected Chinese characters. I know 
I'm deep into the bowels of GTK + Windows usability interactions that aren't 
really meant to be explored, but it's kind of fascinating how this all ends up 
coming out.
