> I've tried to adding the feature for mac, but I can't come up with how to implement it. I tried to almost the same approach as chromium: introducing a method that sends keydown event with keycode = 0xE5 , then invokes editor()->setComposition() by calling [textInput setMarkedText:selectedRange:], into TextInputController. However, it doesn't work as expected. When I call the introduced method with a string, I expect that DRT replaces the text of the textarea to given string, but it just appends the string..

Enrica, Dan, Darin, or Justin: do you know the answer to this question?  If adding the said feature to DRT is too hard, it might make sense to land the current patch as is.  Although I still want explanation as to why moving updateLayout from one place to another fixes the bug.
