366707 - Firefox not honoring TypeIt4Me Input setting

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Max Wyss]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070110 Minefield/3.0a2pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070110 Minefield/3.0a2pre

When switching into Minefield from an application other than Minefield, where the TypeIt4Me input method has been set, the Input Method gets changed to the default input method.

This is reproducible with TypeIt4Me version 2.2.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an application running (Finder or text editor or whatever)
2. Set Input Method to TypeIt4Me (an input method utility by Ricardo Ettore (http://www.typeit4me.com).
3. Switch to Minefield
Actual Results:  
The input method switches to the default used before setting TypeIt4Me and remains there.


Expected Results:  
The input method should not be touched/affected at all

The workaround is to put Minefield on the "Excluded apps" list in TypeIt4Me. The problem is that the expansions working everywhere won't work in Minefield...

Has anyone told Ricardo about this bug? Cocoa event handling changed a lot between Gecko 1.8 and Gecko 1.9, and that's probably what broke this. It's possible there are bugs yet to be noted in the way the event handling works, but it's much more likely that TypeIt4Me needs to be updated.
