Describe the bug
AppFlowy version 0.0.4(1) does not support Chinese input.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a new page
Shift input source from English to Chinese Pinyin (Mac embedded Chinese input)
Start tying Chinese (the input frame won't follow the cursor), then type space to insert the characters.
It shows the Chinese characters just fine. Now, try to delete the character. Typing "backspace" to delete does not work. And the arrow keys seem to malfunction as well (arrow keys will not move the cursor between texts but keep jumping around between app buttons)

Expected behavior
Using a Chinese input source to type Chinese should have the input frame following the cursor, meanwhile pushing "backspace" to delete should function, as well as others like the arrow keys.

Screenshots
0.0.4(1)

input frame does not follow the cursor:
cannot delete Chinese characters once input into the doc, and the delete key and arrows keys seem to malfunction as well.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: 12.4
Application 0.0.4(1)
