Fix a long-standing race condition.

Upon autocorrection, there is visual feedback in the text
view that quickly flashes the background of the text that
just changed. This fixes a race condition that happens
upon autocorrection when typing fast, and that results in
flashing one character too far left (typically, the flashing
area includes the whitespace before the corrected word and
not the last character of the corrected word).
This happens because the call to commitCorrection may
happen before or after the IPC sent by sendKeyChar, but the
arguments are fit only for the case where it arrives first.
