I guess that MS Natural Input 2002 sets the IME state per ITfContext. Maybe, we need a hacky implementation of nsTextStore...

I think this should not block bug 478029, this should be an enhancement bug excepting that my idea is wrong.

That said this issue is a bug of MS Natural Input 2002. I bet we cannot fix this bug without hacky way. But hacky implementation may break other text services behavior. So, we should not fix this bug.

But we should document this issue to release note.
