26744 - Mail composer Address & Subject fields do not dipsplay Japanese input underline (before committed)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 2/5/2000 Win32 M14 build **

This point was brought up by a Japanese user during an
M13 post-mortem chat this morning with Mozilla users in
Japan. 

In Mail Composer's Subject and Address fields, you cannot see
the underline when Japanese characters are input. Once you press
the Space bar, it does highlight the first parsed area but you see
no underline. 

It could be that we don't fave the right fonts, or the baseline is not
set correctly. 

In other fields like Navigator Location field, form input fields, this
is not the case. 
But find dialog input field, Address Book Card fields, etc. suffer 
from the similar problem.

buster- somehow the clipping region of these text field is too short. If you
select the text you will see a white line below the text which does not get
hightlighted. This prevent the IME hightlight get draw in that place. The IME
hight light code put the line in the same place as underline code, with
different color.
Change the summary to "Mail composer Address & Subject fields do not dipsplay
Japanese input underline (before committed"

M15 is for PDT+ and other critical bugs, M16 is for fixing floaters (many, many 
pages display poorly because the floater code in core layout is incorrect), and 
M17 is for all my important (but not critical) bugs.  I hope this can wait for 
M17.  If not, we'll have to find someone else to look into it.

assigning to mjudge, because Ender Lite might very well make this problem go 
away.  It may have had to do with clipping that came about from having a 
webshell.
Mike, if Ender Lite doesn't make this go away and you think it's a core layout 
bug, please assign back to me.

Yes, the underline in addressing and Subject fields are now visible for JPN
characters.
