Hello,
IBM would like to contribute a patch to OpenJDK project.
We'd like to propose a fix of Input Method relating problem.
Can we have a sponsor of the patch?
Problem:
When Input Method's preedit text and text selection were mixed, the
reverse attribute of selection remained unexpectedly.
Recreate steps:
1. On Japanese locale, start Notepad java demo program
2. Type "123456", and move caret between "4" and "5"
3. Turn on Input Method. type "aiu" (Japanese characters) and keep
preedit (without committing).
("123aiu456" should be displayed)
4. Drag (select) "aiu456" by mouse.
(If you click out side of preedit text, it will be committed.)
5. Move focus to other window, then move the focus back.
Preedit text was canceled, and the reverse attribute remained on
"456".
6. Turn off Input Method, move caret before "1".
The reverse attribute was cleared.
7. Type "0", the reverse attribute was still remaining.
(With Input Method, the attribute can delete since preedit string has an
attribute.)
Candidate fix:
