I can certainly fix that.

It's a matter of taste, not function.  I think it is far more pleasant to have
the currently determined character visible and then to undo it if it turns out
to be the wrong choice.  Otherwise, there will be cases where more than one
letter gets delayed, and it will be very annoying.
