18680 - [IME 2000] Modifying characters in conversion mode does not work.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Teruko Kobayashi]

IME 2000 has the following new feature.

In Notepad,
1. Turn on IME and change to Zenkaku Hiragana mode
2. Type keystroke "ochanosayouwooshieru" (at this time, do not hit enter)
3. Hit space bar (the carret is at the end of string)
4. Move the carret 4 characters back by using mouse (you cannot use left
   arrow key there).
5. Use backspace key to delete the character one before the carret
6. Type keystroke "you" and hit space
   Then, the string will be committed.

In Composer, the behavior is following.

After the step #3, the carret is not at the end of string.
In step #5, Backspace key does not delete the character.
   Backspace key will change the last 4 characters to hiragana.

Tested 11-10-17 Win32 M11 build under Windows 2000 Japanese final beta.

I am not sure what we should do w/ reconversion. Move it to M14.

Comment 2

[Frank Tang]

IME 2000 is not in Beta criteria. need help 
Makoto-san: can you take over this bug ?

Comment 3

[Frank Tang]

move it to M17

Comment 4

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

I could reproduce on Windows 2000 + IME2000.  but I couldn't reproduce on 
Windows NT 4.0 SP3 + IME2000.  So I changed OS platform to Windows 2000.

Comment 5

[Frank Tang]

How about win 98 ? IS that true the reconversion first introduced in Win98

Comment 6

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Sorry, this issue doesn't haver nothing to reconversion.  This is the handing 
of IME.  When I tested on NT4SP6 + WXG2 (made by A.I.Soft), it actions as same 
as teruko's report.
So when WM_LBUTTONDOWN is send, it may be not have to call ResetInputState()...

Comment 7

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

I cannot repro at notepad etc... on Windows 98 SE + MS-IME98.
This action will repro at notepad, Word 2000 etc on Windows 2000 + IME2000.

Comment 8

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

I think this issue should be "WONTFIX".
This action depends on IME.  If this should fix, Composer must stop handing of 
IME.
frank, please tell me your suggestion...

Comment 9

[Frank Tang]

what do you mean "Composer must stop handing of IME." ?

Comment 10

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Yes.
If this bug fix, Composer must write code depended on IME2000 like Word 2000 
and Windows 2000.

Comment 11

[Frank Tang]

what does that mean . does that mean we need to react to some new IMM messages ?

Comment 12

[Teruko Kobayashi]

Putting nsbeta2 since this is beta2 criteria.

Comment 13

[Frank Tang]

nsbeta2 ? I don't think we can fix this even by GM. 

Comment 14

[leger]

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.

Comment 15

[Frank Tang]

reassign to shanjian- we may not have time to implement this for beta2 

Comment 16

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

probably, you must use WM_MSIME_MOUSE and WM_MSIME_QUERYPOSITION message.
But I have no sample and addtional document.

See the following URL.

Comment 17

[Frank Tang]

nsbeta3+ per i18n bug meeting. 

Comment 18

[Frank Tang]

I don't think the current IME arch support this kind of editing. We have the 
same problme on Mac. We should consider drop this from Netscape6.

Comment 19

[Frank Tang]

Cut this . Mark it as nsbeta3- and mark future. 

Comment 20

[Frank Tang]

reassign to yokoyama

Comment 21

[msanz]

nsbranch- since Frank moved it to future

tested 2002-04-12-08-1.0.0
OS = Win XP Pro. JA
This is not only Win 2000 problem.
It occures on Win XP JA also.
Win XP is major criteria.
This is Win 2000 new feature which is issued more than 3 yeares ago, but  not
supported yet.
This is very poor quality. I added keyword nebeta1.
Bug 36795 is the similar.

nsbeta1-

This needs to be addressed after mozilla 1.0 but not for nsbeta1, there is a
workaround by using keyboard.

Comment 27

[Kasumi]

can't reproduce on 2002-07-17-08-1.0 on Win XP Pro. JA and Win XP Pro. JA SP1 Beta1.

Comment 28

[Teruko Kobayashi]

Kasumi, how about Win2k?

Comment 29

[Kasumi]

tested on 2002-07-24-08-1.0
Win 2000 JA
This incident contents 2 problems.
1.After the step #3, the carret is not at the end of string. -- still
occurred.but this problem is covered　by #36975.
2.In step #5, Backspace key does not delete the character.
   Backspace key will change the last 4 characters to hiragana. --  can't
   reproduce.

Comment 30

[Kasumi]

Step3 still occurred

Comment 31

[Frank Tang]

I think both roy and me are off mozilla for more than 2 years. If these bugs are
still here now, I think the real stauts is 'won't fix'. If you want to reopen
it, please find a new owner for it first.

Comment 35

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)(away 4/27 - 5/6)]

Currently, this problem is not reproduced.
Because in step #3, the composition string is commited.
Currently, Mozilla force end composition when user click by mouse.

I think that the behavior that is same as Notepad + IME2000 does not fit to
current build.
-> WONTFIX

> Because in step #3, the composition string is commited.

-> Because in step #4, the composition string is commited after click immediately.
