In bug 1051556 we made IME _text_ change transactional. This bug is about including selection change in the transaction.

We notify IME text changes in transactions. We should make selection
change notification part of that transaction.

abortFlushing sounds like a command rather than a conditional statement. We could also drop the "Flushing" given that it's a local function in this context. How about "shouldAbort" or "aborting" instead or similar?

Could change to if (!...) { return false; } to avoid unnecessary nesting.

Why not use ALOG?

ALOG is debug-only but I wanted this message for release as well.

Patch for Aurora

Fix a crash, taking it.

Comment 9

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

does not apply to aurora cleanly:

grafting 322256:df4a07a432dc "Bug 1236640 - Make selection change part of the IME change transaction; r=esawin"
merging widget/android/nsWindow.cpp
warning: conflicts while merging widget/android/nsWindow.cpp! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
abort: unresolved conflicts, can't continue
(use hg resolve and hg graft --continue)

The aurora-specific patch should work (attachment 8708004 [details] [diff] [review]). Thanks!
