+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1381732 +++

STR:
0. Activate MS-IME for Japanese
1. Open Gmail
2. Click "Compose"
3. Write some text in message body with IME enabled (e.g. あ)
4. Alt+Tab to another non-Firefox window.
5. Alt+Tab back to the Firefox window with Gmail.
6. Press 'a' in the keyboard.

Expected results:
IME is still active and, e.g. あ is produced.

Actual results:
The IME is disabled (in the taskbar an 'x' is shown') and hence 'a' is produced. Furthermore, it is not possible to activate to the IME be pressing the 半角/全角漢字 button. If I click the text area again, however, the IME is enabled and activated.


Only MS-IME for Japanese behaves differently then all other IMEs. When the process is being inactivated, MS-IME handles focus message by themselves and sets focused text store in the thread manager to nullptr.  Therefore, only with MS-IME for Japanese, TSFTextStore::GetIMENotificationRequests() returns no requests (i.e., not includes IMENotificationRequests::NOTIFY_DURING_DEACTIVE).  Therefore, IMEStateManager will send NOTIFY_IME_OF_BLUR notification but IMEContentObserver still in the remote process.  Therefore, when we're activated again, NOTIFY_IME_OF_FOCUS won't be notified and TSFTextStore won't be recreated again.  This is the cause of this bug.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]:
Perhaps, regression of bug 1377672.

[User impact if declined]:
If active IME is MS-IME for Japanese (default of Window-Ja), user cannot input text with MS-IME after activating a window of Firefox. After moving focus to another element, user can restore the IME state, though.

[Is this code covered by automated tests?]:
No.

[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]:
Yes.

[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]:
No.

[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]:
No.

[Is the change risky?]:
No.

[Why is the change risky/not risky?]:
This just requests content change notifications even if IME context managed by us temporarily lost focus. Note that even if IME loses focus, while we're managing IME context, the content needs to receive notifications of content changes.

So, I meant that this patch does not change our behavior. Just changing the condition of receiving notifications of content changes.

[String changes made/needed]:
No.
