233087 - [Cocoa] Hitting backspace while composing diacritic doesn't delete mark

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

Steps:
- put focus in text field (google.com is a good one)
- type option-e
- type backspace

Expected results:
- diacritic should go away, leaving no trace

Actual results:
- "composition" mode stops, but raw diacritic remains

In addition, though it's not visible because of a hack in the BWC, this sends
the backspace up through the responder chain rather than correctly dealing with
it and not passing it along.

Do this bug happen only "option-e" ?
If so, OS X's bug cause this bug, may be.

in TextEdit, typing option-e cause starting composition mode. It's incorrect action.
If we don't select IME (or select U.S. and other Roman keyboard layout), 
composition mode should not start.

no, it doesn't start IME in the traditional sense, but the fix for this is
intertwined with our IME handling code (all the bizarro logic in keyDown).
That's why I marked the bug as IME.

Mike, is this still on your radar at all?

Moving the IME bugs to 1.1 :-(

This is going to bite cocoafox too, right?

Moving IME-related bugs to Camino 1.2 :(

Mass un-setting milestone per 1.6 roadmap.

Filter on RemoveRedonkulousBuglist to remove bugspam.

Developers: if you have a patch in hand for one of these bugs, you may pull the bug back to 1.6 *at that point*.

Mass-reassign of bugs still assigned to pinkerton to nobody; filter on "NoMoPinkBugsInCamino".

Shouldn't this move to core ?
I can repro this with Minefield (2007111404)

Yeah, I noticed this in the list when I reassigned the bugs, but I hadn't had time to check Minefield yet....

I cannot reproduce this bug. If you see this with specific environment or keyboard layout, please file a new bug.
