63456 - Unable to pick up right characters from candidate window by using mouse

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

OS: RH 6.2J

When you input a Japanese character, pressing space will pop up a candidate
window to show all the candidate chars which have the same pronunciation. You
should be able to use mouse to pick up one candidate to the preedit area and
then hit the Enter to commit. But now the preedit area doesn't reflect the char
you picked up and hit Enter can't commit the chosen char either.
If you use space bar to choose the candidate, although the preedit area doesn't
reflect the selection ( I remember Katakai-san has a bug for it), hit Enter can
actually commit the selected character.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Composer.
2. Press Shift Space to bring up IME.
3. Enter some roman-ji and press space bar to bring up the candidate window.
4. Use mouse to pick up a different character in the candidate window and hit enter.
   The one you selected is not entered into the editing area.

katakai-san: request a M0.9.1 milestone and P2.

This is a problem of kinput2 when we use kinput2 in on-the-spot.

I've verified that preedit_draw_cbproc() is never called when I
selected a candidate by mouse. I believe this is a bug of kinput2.
Also we can verify this (kinput2 is wrong) on Java2. Java2 Swing
uses on-the-spot and we can see the same problem on it.

marked as WONTFIX.

Verified due WONTFIX.
