Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-03-12 20:32:34 UTC 
PORT: ISSUE-183: (This bug will track this issue to close.)

compositionstart event defines:
 
> Some implemenations may populate the data attribute of the 
compositionstart event with the text currently selected in the document 
(for editing and replacement); otherwise, the value of the data 
attribute must be the empty string.
 
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#event-type-compositionstart
 
However, the dead key examples in the document set the first character 
of composition string.

Input Method Editor examples are fine.
Comment 1 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-03-17 00:19:00 UTC 
Fixed. The Dead Key examples now correctly start compositionstart with a value of the empty string.
