I got your point. What about this solution:
If in the compose mode, endCompositoin just sendComposedText
instead of sendCommittedText.
The patch is attached
Could you please explain the fix? May be it removes NPE but it
puzzles me. So if buffer.length() == 0 you invoke
sendCommittedText, right? But sendCommittedText commits buffer, but
buffer is empty. Looks strange...
BTW: the code like "if (!notInCompositionMode) {" a little bit
difficult to understand =) I'd preffer to avoid two negations and
use "if (notInCompositionMode)" and swap if/else blocks...

Hi Pavel,
Sorry for the confusion. Here is some explanation, please correct me
if I am wrong:
1. There two modes which is judge from the buffer size: composed
mode when the buffer size is not zero and normal mode when the
buffer size is zero.
Right
2. The original code make no difference whether it is in the
composed mode or normal mode. In the normal mode, which buffer size
is zero, it sends the committed text. In the composed mode, which
buffer size is not zero, it also sends the committed code. And NPE
occurred here.
3. In the patch, I do not change the logic when in the normal mode.
(notInCompositionMode branch) Why? I guess it is the logic of "Ends
any input composition that may currently be going on in this
context. Depending on the platform and possibly user preferences,
this may commit or delete uncommitted text." from the api spec....
Yes. But after your change the following code looks strange for me:
if (!notInCompositionMode) {
....
} else {
>>>> sendCommittedText();
}
So if we are not in composition mode we send something (empty string
actually). Logically we shouldn't send anything (IMO), because buffer
is empty. Why should we do something at all if endComposition is
invoked and we are not in composition mode?
4. In the patch, the logic in the composed mode is that: if it is in
the composed mode, keep every thing as just composed :-)
I found a new bug (???) in the fix. If you apply the patch, run the
MouseEventTest2 test and follow the instructions from the bug
description NPE will not be thrown, but the JTextArea remains in
composition mode even after endComposition completion.
Right. It seems that we have to do some thing in the jdk :-). Here it is:
The patch attached is just adding a null check at the beginning of the
mouseClicked method in DefaultCaret. So why the component is null in
the DefaultCaret? That because the caret has already been deinstalled.
It seems to be an order problem of mouse event and the event which
endCompositon sent. The endComposition will exchange the caret and
deinstall the old one. On the other hand, mouse click event was
happening on the old caret. So the component of the old caret is null
now. NPE happens.
It looks that you are trying to fix the consequence, but not the root of
the problem. The endComposition method shouldn't send anything to
deinstalled DefaultCaret. I think the previous version of the fix was
much closer than this one.
