This problem is not reproducible on Japanese RH6.2 system. But it does happen
on En RH6.0 + Ja package system. And it only happens when you turn on IME and 
type Japanese on a BLANK html composer.  If you have some ASCII input already in 
 HTML composer, then turn on IME and enter Japanese, you won't have this 
problem.

Yes.

Nominating for nsbeta3.
Tajima san, could you take a look at this?

Comment 6

[Hidetoshi Tajima]

I could see the problem on JA redhat6.1 with today's nightly build
while it did not happen with the nightly build about two days ago. As no change
has been made onto widget/gtk codes, something must happen again on editor base
side. I'm sure this is related to Set/Unset focus widget as usual. A large
change might
be necessary in IME code in widget/gtk side to prevent this kind of problem
forever.
Please be prepared that we would post you a big patch soon. To make a fix happen
for
beta3, we, Sun team, are expecting prompt responce from netscape team in each
single
problem.

Marking nsbeta3+ per I18N bug triage.

Comment 11

[leger]

Putting on [dogfood+] radar.  Blocking I18n testing.

Comment 12

[Hidetoshi Tajima]

Can somebody explain what changes have been made in editor? Can I wait for
another
day or week until it gets stable?

Comment 13

Here is a hook for 8/23. Check in by editor group (sfraser, pavlov, cmanske) don
t seem to be related to the problem...

IQA, any workaround to test IME?

Comment 14

[ji]

Browser won't be hung if the user enters ASCII first. That can be considered 
a workaround for testing.

Comment 15

[Jim Roskind]

Is the workaround good enough to get this off of the dogfood list?  

Comments?

Comment 16

[Teruko Kobayashi]

I think this workaround is good enough to test IME, so dogfood+ is OK to remove.
However, this is definately nsbeta3+ bug.

Comment 17

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

okay...will use workaround on smoketest 'til notified a fix is in place.

Comment 18

[leger]
