I don't know of a document specifically explaining this nor what a more general and cleaner solution than the hack look like, but I'll try explaining the problem as I see it. A typical IME window looks like a combo box [1] which appears after you enter some pre-conversion text and press the conversion key (which is typically the space bar). In the window, you will select a candidate by going up and down with the arrow keys and decide on by pushing Enter. For example, in order to input 誤字を修正しました [2] you may type "gojiwoshuuseishimashita<space><enter>" (for simplicity, I assume the system always suggests the correct conversion result at the top candidate). You may alternatively type "goji<space><enter>wo<enter>shuusei<space><enter>shimashita<enter>". Some people prefer the latter, partly because longer fragments (as in the former) sometimes result in a screwed up conversion due to the greater ambiguity in word segmentation. It's not rare for a user to hit Enter twice accidentally while trying to finalize a piece of conversion, and it results in an unintentional saving if you are on a text box. A possible solution I can think of is to detect an IME on/off event [2] and add a confirmation prompt to ask "do you really want to save this?" upon an Enter event. (I'm not too about the feasibility.)
