Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2005-08-28 04:40:30 PDT 
When an input method asks a WebHTMLView for the currently selected text, nothing is returned. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open WebCore/layout-tests/editing/inserting/typing-001.html
2. Type something with Kotoeri Hiragana, confirm the inline input area
3. Select one character
4. Press Control-1 or Control-2 (Search similar Kanji, Convert to related character)

Expected results: an inline input area is created from the selection
Actual results: nothing happens

Discussion: here is how the reply to kEventTextInputGetSelectedText looks like (note the emply 
kEventParamTextInputReplyText 'trtx'):
