When you type Japanese characters in form text area, Find filed of Find on This page dialog, and Location bar, the caret does not move while you are typing. Steps of reproduce 1. Go to above URL 2. Turn on kinput2 by Shift+Space 3. Try to type Japanese characers in the text field The caret does not move the character by character while you are typing. Tested 11-03-09 Linux build.

the url invalide. Please put the right one there.

Sorry, I updated the right URL.

somehow I saw the caret move. DO you mean it does not move before you commit ? or do you mean it does not move EVEN after you commit ?

In my environment today, kinput2 does not work well on textarea/textfield widgets such as "Find On Page". 1. kinput2 status window come up with WM's decoration, but it should not. 2. I don't see any preedit window on text widgets.

Frank, I meant the caret does not move before I commit the characters. I tested this in 12-01-09 Linux build. This still happens.

Not dogfood and there are many caret problems that won't be resolved in M12. Moved to M13.

reassign this to ftang as M12

I have fix this bug for a while.

I tested this in 01-05-16 Linux build. The caret does not move while typing Japanese characters before commit. I need to reopen this.

ok, the problem is about caret movement in the pre composed text. I have no way to fix it under over-the-spot input method style. However, this is a valid bug, just low priority. Remove [PP] and [BETA] and move to M20

This should be solved by on-the-spot IME. Reassign to tajima@eng.sun.com

As frank said, pre composed window in over-the-spot style is owned by XIM(like kinput2 on Linux), so that's XIM's problem, but not mozilla. On the other hand, in on-the-spot, mozilla draws pre composed text, so does caret. We plan to check in a big patch for on-the-spot after M14. I'll mark the bug resolved after the check-in, right?

The big patch has been checked-in. (r=pavlov,ftang,erik, a=waterson) Using on-the-spot inputstyle will show caret at the current insertion point of text buffer.

I verified this in 2000030209 Linux build.
