28015 - Mozilla adds extra character when Korean is typed with Global IME

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

In M13 under MS-Windows 98(English version), Mozilla appends the last
Korean character entered to the end of the string
(thus making the last character in the string duplicated)
whenever I press space-bar or press 'submit' button
in (single line) **form** field. This doesn't happen in mail/news
composer. I haven't checked it in 'textarea'.
I think this is also the case in MS-Windows 95/NT 4.0/2000
with Global IME for Korean. (I'm not sure if this happens under
Korean version of MS-Windows 95/98/NT/2000). 
To reproduce, 
 1. install Global IME for Korean (available from MS website)
 2. launch Mozilla M13
 3. go to the URL above(or any other web site with form input.
      e.g. http://www.yahoo.co.kr/)
 4. enter a Korean word and press the submit button
         OR
     enter a Korean sentence with spaces delimeting words in the
      sentence

The same thing happens in textarea of the form input and mail/news composition
(subject and body) as well.

reassigning browser-general bugs (again!) so triagers can find all the bugs 
with one query.

hum. jshin- can you tell us what is your IME option ? I think it is only 
reproduceable in cerntain options.

blee- can you try to reproduce it first ?

I couldn't reproduce this as originally described with 032206M15b1 bld (dup of
last char entered) under Win98En+Global IME.
However, after committing text input, merely getting mouse pointer over (or
clicking on) "Search" button at http://www.yahoo.co.kr/ would display the
duplicate of the entire form field with its content on the left of the field.
Didn't happen on other KO search sites tried (e.g., http://www.simmani.co.kr/).

I've just tried this again with the latest nightly build(20000321 0r
20000322) under Englsih MS Windows 98 
and Global IME for Korean worked very well as blee
described. The bug I reported seems to have gone since. 
Has there been any change made in this area which you think
fixed this problem? Or, has it just gone :-) ? 
If the former is the case, it could be declared this bug 
resolved.
