I found out that this issue does not occur in Firefox 38, so I tried narrowing it down using mozregression.
pushlog_url: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=f3b757156f69&tochange=2fad09a0540d

bug 1187579 is included in the above range, so it seems to be a bug caused by e10s support.

Additional Information:
This issue does not occur when using "ATOK". Only when using "Google Japanese Input".

I have attached the following TSF log(zipped) from when the STR(comment#0) was performed.

set MOZ_LOG=nsTextStoreWidgets:4

(In reply to Alice0775 White from comment #3)

set MOZ_LOG=nsTextStoreWidgets:4

FYI: After bug 1744907, the logging name for IME is "IMEHandler" in all platforms, similarly, "KeyboardHandler" for keyboard event handler in all platforms.

I'll take a look today.

Even if I disable the e10s mode, I can reproduce this bug. And as far as I've checked, we send the space key event to TSF correctly. However, when Google Japanese Input does not input a Full-width space, they do not insert the Half-width space with ITextStore API, i.e., typing the space key is handled as without IME in the case. I tried to disable some code in mozilla::widget::TSFTextStore which may be unusual, and to make IMM context update immediately before initializing TSFTextStore at receiving a focus notification from the remote process, but they couldn't work.

I searched "Firefox" and "bugzilla" in their source code, but I couldn't find any comments which mention our specific/odd behavior. Therefore, I have no more idea which we can do in the our side.

Hi, Yukawa-san, long time no see! If you have some ideas or know somebody who I should contact, let me know. Thank you!

The product::component has been changed since the backlog priority was decided, so we're resetting it.

No idea at the moment. but feel free to start a new thread at https://github.com/google/mozc/discussions/new?category=q-a for this kind of questions. Using GitHub Discussions is supposed to be more robust than directly pinging my corp email in general if you need to talk to someone. Building Mozc for Windows is so easy these days. We even provide a build artifacts in GitHub Actions. There is a good chance for everyone to figure out what's going on as long as they know how to debug apps in Windows.
