697849 - Overtyping an entire paragraph using IME sometimes causes the follow up text at the IP to not be displayed

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[maxst]

Attachment: FirefoxContentChange.htm

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

I've attached a reduced repro page.  Here are the repro steps:

1) Load FirefoxContentChange.htm in Firefox (I was using 7.0.1)
2) Click in the word "second" in the design mode iframe
3) Type using the Japanese IME
4) Leave the IME in an undetermined state for a couple seconds until another "populateContent completed" appears.  The typed text will disappear and the IP will go to the beginning of the paragraph.
5) continue typing


Actual results:

The IP blinks but no new text appears.


Expected results:

A new range of IME text to begin typing.

Since the EOP is selected, the first character of IME typing is eaten.  In firefox, this is resulting in the broken undetermined state.
