Handwritting in Touch Keyboard not working

Hey,

When I use the handwriting Touch Keyboard mode in Windows 10 it doesn't work. It recognises the text and displays suggestions but doesn't input any text into the field. I am running the latest version of Windows 10 (April Update) but I am using an older
version of Touch Keyboard (Tab-tip version 10.0.15063.0 from Windows 10 Update 1703), as the latest version doesn't have handwriting support for Google IME). Note, the onscreen keyboard modes all work fine but it's just the handwriting portion that isn't working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
