Bug 106081 – REGRESSION(r138544): [GTK] Clicking on selected text in a text editable deletes the selection

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

The problem is that GtkInputMethodFilter::notifyMouseButtonPress() in WebKit2 always confirms a text composition, instead of the current composition.

I think either way, it makes sense to cancel the composition. clickCounter.shouldProcessButtonEvent just discards "extra" events that happen during the process of multi-clicking, so the chances of this making a difference are pretty small.
