1357638 - "dom.forms.inputmode" is referred with Preferences::GetBool() at every click in <input type="text"> and <textarea> and moving focus to them

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P1)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

IMEStateManager::SetIMEState() refers "dom.forms.inputmode" with Preferences::GetBool() when it's called with <input type="text"> (or similar) and <textarea>. It's called at every focus change and click.

So, this might not cause performance issue with any benchmark. But it might waste CPU/battery usage. So, perhaps, it should use Preferences::AddBoolVarCache().
