Sorry, my system dropped the extension on the attachment filename.  Just adding this to avoid any confusion down the road.

No way to support IM on Linux when using windowless mode.  GTK doesn't provide IME hook.

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

And Firefox 54 only supports windowless mode.  So this occurs on Firefox 54+

Comment 4

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Jeromie, if Adobe want it, please add API to support IME.
