168286 - type ahead does not work with Japanese IME

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168281

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, defect)

Description

[Guangyan Liu]

Mozilla build 2002-09-09-08-trunk

When I try to enter some Japanese characters using the Japanese keyboard layout
on the Yahoo Japan homepage (http://yahoo.co.jp/), nothing happens. I do not get
any kind of error messages in the status bar saying word not found, etc. It's as
if I never typed anything. 
This problem occurs even when I'm in Japanese Windows XP.
 
In contrast, I get visual feedback (characters are displayed on
the top left corner of the page) when I search for Simplified Chinese links with
the Chinese (China) keyboard layout.

An interesting problem I noticed was that although nothing seems to happen when
I enter some characters, if I then click in a textfield and attempt to enter
more characters inside that field the characters I entered previously suddenly
appear inside the field. Delete does not work in the textfield as expected after
the reappearance, as it somehow introduces more characters into the textfield.

Probably related to bug 168281

If we fix that it will probably fix this.

I believe this is a dup of 168281! Otherwise we have to file over 100 bugs for 
each IME :P
