Hi Charles,

Hi guys,

This issue is related about sunbug 6938583. (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=6938583) I am thinking maybe it can be fixed in the CodePointIM code. The problem is occurred when the IM is in the compose mode and use left click the Mouse. Maybe we can consume the left click the event when it is in the compose mode? The code looks like: if (!notInCompositionMode && (event instanceof MouseEvent)) { MouseEvent mEvent = (MouseEvent)event; if (mEvent.getID() == MouseEvent.MOUSECLICKED && mEvent.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3) { mEvent.consume(); } return; } in the dispatchEvent of CodePointInputMethod. Could you please send webrev of your fix? Why did you write "consume the left click" but used "mEvent.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3"? Can you explain why should we consume left clicks but not right ones (or vice versa)?

Thanks, Pavel
