Error description

• Autoadvance does not work in specific cases
  These cases are:
       A.  On SBCS field or Mixed field,
       If once on/off IME by pressing SBCS/DBCS key twice
       then input data to fill the field, autoAdvance does not
       work until input any data on IME and determine it
       by pressing Enter key on the field.
       This symptom does not occur if I enable/disable IME
       by pressing ALT+SBCS/DBCS key twice.
   B.   On any types of fields,
    If input data on IME and press SBCS/DBCS key or
  Alt+SBCS/DBCS key to disable IME, the string
  is determined. then if input data to fill the field,
  AutoAdvance does not work until input any data on IME
  and determine it by pressing Enter key on the field.

  IMEkeysForKeyDown for some specific keys such as the
  SBCS/DBCDS key.
  IMEkeysForKeyUp is working on keyup and IMEkeysForKeyDown is
  working on keydown.
  Users can customize these tables to handle specific keys.
