Description

[Alice0775 White]

After landing Bug 1387416,
When I want to search Japanese term, I have to use the Address bar.
However, When I move focus to Address bar, IME always turn off.
So I have to turn on IME every time.
It is very annoying for Japanese IME user.

Reproducible: 100%

Steps To Reproduce:
0. Make sure that MS-IME is default IME.
1. Launch Nightly
2. Type Japanese words in Address bar. 
     In this step I have to turn on IME.
     --- maybe this is as expected if IME OFF
3. Focus input field on web page(incl. about:home or about:newtab)
     --- IME is still ON as expected (if ime-mode is not specified)
4. Focus Address bar
     --- IME is automatically turned off! --- This is a BUG


Actual Results;
IME always turned off when Address bar gets focus

Expected Results:
Do not change the state of the IME

This sounds like something I've heard before that had to do with when we set the HTML input type to 'url' (cf. bug 1239319). I thought it got fixed then, and I can't find the bug for it anymore. :-\

Masayuki, do you have any idea what's going on here?

Yes. Some IMEs turn themselves close when focused editor's input scope is "URL".
