Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2005-08-11 11:02:51 PDT

If a form field contains unconfirmed inline input, its contents is ignored.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached file (inputtext.html) in Safari
2. With any input method that uses inline input (such as Kotoeri Hiragana), type something tinto the 
input field
3. Click the "Start Search" button

Results: An alert "Search field appears empty".

Alternatively: try a Google search (from www.google.com, not the Google bar) without confirming the 
inline input

Regression: was OK in WebKit/412 (OS X 10.4.2)

Discussion: Necessity to manually confirm all inline input sessions is a major hurdle for people using 
inline input.

Still present in Safari 2.0.1 (412.5) with ToT WebKit.

This sounds a lot like <rdar://problem/4094066> REGRESSION (1.2.5-1.3): unconfirmed inline input is 
ignored in <textarea>, lost when form is submitted, which I fixed a while back.

I've got a fix.
