Is this a duplicate of bug 287866?

I'm not familiar enough with the Asian input methods to know what to do to
reproduce this, but I do know Wevah did some recent work with the Esc key that
has been blamed for bug 287866.

CH Chan, if you can't tell if this is a duplicate of bug 287866, can you provide
some detailed steps we non-Chinese speakers can use to reproduce this issue?

[CH Chan]

It is similar to bug 287866

I can't confirm this bug is a duplicate of 287866. I don't if it is Chinese specific or all CJK systems are 
affected.

Reproduce the bug (detail)

In Mac OS 10.3.8

1. In system preference => International => Input menu, enable "traditional chinese" and "show input 
menu in menu bar"
2. You will see a little flag in right hand corner of menu bar. Click it, select traditional Chinese.
3. Click that little icon again, confirm "show associated words" and "Jianyi" is enabled.
3. In camino text box/google search field, type in NW and press 1. A chinese character will be added.
4. Then, a little "Associated words selector" will be popup. You can press the number to add extra 
words. If you don't need it, normally you can press Esc to skip it. But you can't in Camino.

[Wevah (Nate Weaver)]

Yeah, I think it's my fault. I also think the proposed patch in bug 287866 is
the right way to do it (check to see if we're in IME and then don't eat the
escape key; it just needs to be reworked a bit), though I'm not sure that
everyone shares my opinion on it.

Thanks for the instructions (note to others not familiar with how IMEs work: you
need to enter lowercase nw, not uppercase); it reproduces.

I'll go ahead and confirm and let Wevah decide if it's a dupe or dependant or
what :-)

There were just some changes to the Google search bar. Any chance they
"accidentally" fixed this?

This works fine in the Google search bar in the toolbar, but not in the content.

Actually, Escape works fine in the content (e.g. on google web page) (and bug
308471 fixes the input window position).
