This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-78e7a9bb-3cdc-4f69-9746-044592150102.
=============================================================

I can reproduce this consistently by pressing Ctrl + Shift + U in a comment box on Facebook. I was originally starting to type a unicode character.
Heh, amusingly, only reproduced if I try to press Ctrl + Shift + U in an empty comment box. If I have something already in it, it doesn't crash.

Er, yes. I type unicode often.
Component: General → Editor
I've been running into this (also on Facebook, using the right Alt key as Compose), and reproduced it on a debug build.  It looks like IMEStateManager::sTextCompositions is empty, which would explain why nsEditor can't find one:

(gdb) p mozilla::IMEStateManager::sTextCompositions->mHdr->mLength

Running with NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMEStateManager:5 gives me these messages — and all of this occurs on the *last* keypress of the compose sequence; there are no IMEStateManager messages caused by the earlier keypresses:

ISM: IMEStateManager::DispatchCompositionEvent(aNode=0x7f8ffa68e420, aPresContext=0x7f8fffc2b000, aCompositionEvent={ message=NS_COMPOSITION_START, mFlags={ mIsTrusted=true, mPropagationStopped=false } }, aIsSynthesized=false)

That printed "0"; I accidentally deleted that line while editing the comment.

The "unacceptable event message" is 2205 == NS_COMPOSITION_COMMIT.

It wasn't actually an NS_COMPOSITION_END; that log message is under this condition:

966       if ((!aIsSynthesized ||
967            composition->WasNativeCompositionEndEventDiscarded()) &&
968           aCompositionEvent->CausesDOMCompositionEndEvent()) {

aCompositionEvent->message == NS_COMPOSITION_COMMIT.  composition->mWasNativeCompositionEndEventDiscarded is false, so this condition is true because aIsSynthesized is false.  This is the call stack:

That's called by JS, and gdb isn't able to follow the stack past the jitcode.

This is a somewhat frequent crash on 39 aurora. It started just after 39 merged so I can't point to a particular change. Ehsan can you help?

This falls into Masayuki's area, since it's IME.
Flags: needinfo?(ehsan) → needinfo?(masayuki)
Hmm, looks like that this is reproduced only on Linux and if it starts with 39, I guess that bug 1143197 is the regression cause. I'll investigate later.
Flags: needinfo?(masayuki)
Hmm, I cannot reproduce this bug with debug build of today's m-c on Ubuntu 15.04...
The Ubuntu version wasn't letting me access about:crashes, so I download a fresh version from Mozilla. Build from 2015-04-30. Tested on Ubuntu 15.10. All I did was start Firefox, go to Facebook, focus on the first comment box of the first post on my newsfeed, and try to input a character using the Compose key (in this case, Compose, '"', '<').

Crash report bp-98b20e1a-0289-4da3-b8ae-22a582150501.
I can reproduce it with Aurora bug I cannot reproduce this with Nightly, sigh...

Perhaps, this bug has been fixed only in Nightly.
Hmm, odd... I failed to reproduce this bug with Aurora again. When I type Ctrl + Shift + U in comment field, the placeholder text is just flicked (not starting to composition). Could some body post a log of nsGtkIMModuleWidgets:5,IMEStateManager:5 with the simplest steps?
And can anybody still reproduce this bug with Nightly? I'm not sure which branches have this bug.
I couldn't reproduce it in Nightly: Compose, dead keys, and Ctrl+Shift+U all work for me.

In Aurora, Ctrl+Shift+U doesn't crash but doesn't start composition, while Compose key (I tested with Compose, '"', '<' and Compose, '.', '.') and dead keys (I tested with "~" followed by "a" in a pt-BR input language) cause the crash if I'm in one of the affected textboxes.
Thank you, David. I guess that this must exist only 39.

However, on my environment, Ctrl + Shift + U doesn't insert 'u' with underline in the comment field. I find the cause. The placeholder text is a text node in contenteditable editor. The node is removed by probably a compositionstart event handler. Then, nsGtkIMModule tries to commit composition with resetting the IM context and dispatches commit string which is empty. However, resetting the IM context is failed (i.e., kept the composition by IME) but Gecko believes there is no composition. This mismatch must cause the crash in 39.

I'll post a patch for it soon and I'll build the patch in 39 branch.

Thank you. I tested Aurora and Nightly x86_64 test builds and I was unable to reproduce this bug.

Thank you very much, let's take the patch!
Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
This must be a regression of bug 1143197.

The bug changed nsGtkIMModule::ResetIME() dispatches composition commit event with empty string when there is no composition string.

In the comment field of Facebook is created with contenteditable element and it has placeholder text with a text node which will be removed by compositionstart event.

When user starts composition in the commend field with the placeholder text, Facebook removes the text node from the editor. Then, it causes selection change notification. It causes a call of ResetIME().

Additionally, iBus doesn't cancel composition even if gtk_im_context_reset() is called while it's sending "preedit_start" signal.

I.e., ResetIME() fails to commit composition in IME but Gecko's composition was already commited with empty string. This mismatch causes a call of the MOZ_CRASH().

Temporarily, we should ignore selection change during dispatching NS_COMPOSITION_START because it doesn't cause any problem with nsGtkIMModule if mCompositionStart is modified.

So, you may realized that this patch does NOT fix this bug completely. If compositionstart handler changes focus, the request to commit won't work with iBus. But it must be rare case and it needs larger patch. Therefore, I'd like to fix it in another bug without uplift.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

Even if a user won't reproduce this bug, the user cannot start to input text with IME in the comment field of Facebook. This is Linux only and new regression in 39. The suggesting fix isn't so risky because the new path runs only when user meets this special case. However, if we decline this fix, this bug will be inconvenience for our Linux users in such major web service, Facebook.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1143197
[User impact if declined]: Even if user cannot reproduce the crash, such user cannot input composition string in the commend field of Facebook when the comment field is empty.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Already fixed on m-c.
[Risks and why]: Gecko tries to commit composition even when a selection change occurs during dispatching compositionstart but it fails due to iBus's limitation (iBus doesn't stop active composition at sending native compositionstart event). Therefore, Gecko believes composition has already finished but native IME still has composition. When Gecko detects this mismatch, crash itself. This is what is this bug. This patch doesn't cancel composition even if a selection change occurs when compositionstart is being dispatched. So, this patch doesn't effect in most situations. Therefore, the risk is low.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: No.

Approved for uplift to aurora --  this has had some time on m-c, and fixes a bad regression.
