4390 - {feature} Need extensions to transaction manager to support Japanese Input

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[tague]

To correctly support Japanese input, I want to be able to create a secondary
transaction "stack" which can't interact with the main transaction stack of the
application, to represent the changes that occur while an input method is being
used.  I attempted to use the batching features - but the batching functions do
not support transactions in the style that I need.

Let's say I've typed ABC into the editor, and now I engage the input method by
selecting it from the keyboard menu.  I type kakikukeko and then <return> to
signal that I am done with the input method.  While I am typing with the input
method engaged - I can't completely commit the changes that I am typing into
the main editor buffer until the <return> key is pressed.  The kakikukeko
string needs to be editable independent (and unable to affect) the string ABC.
Once I hit return, the transaction manager needs to create a new transaction
which represents inserting the entire string kakikukeko into the text buffer as
an atomic insert.

Please contact for more details and explaination about what I need.  It's
difficult to describe in a bug report, but I can demonstrate how this needs to
work in person.

This should have goten fixed with the work we did in M5.  I'm moving it to
verified since it's a code/design issue.
