Description Benny Martinson 2021-04-22 08:03:36 PDT

See http://jsfiddle.net/c46koq57/ for a repro with these steps.

Repro instructions:

Put the cursor in the contenteditable box in the fiddle.
Long-press a vowel, until the accent menu opens.
Arrow right to select a replacement.
Arrow left to unselect that replacement.
Now type any character.
Expected behavior: A compositionend event should be dispatched when a character is typed (which will be logged to the console).

Actual behavior: No compositionend event is dispatched, which can cause IME handling code to get into a bad state since there was a compositionstart event. This does work correctly if we have a replacement selected before typing a new character. 

The bug is not reproducible in Chrome or Firefox.

I just tried this in Safari 16.1 and when I long press "a" and follow all instruction "compositionend" event does get fired.

Just wanted to post testing result. Thanks!

This seems to be working on Safari 16.1.

Comment 4 Benny Martinson 2022-11-28 12:51:10 PST

I'm still seeing the bug in Safari Version 16.1 (17614.2.9.1.13, 17614), macOS 12.6.1.

Oh I see. The issue is that the typed character is never processed. As a result, compositionend doesn't fire until the selection is moved elsewhere.
