Description
While testing input methods with test/java/awt/im/IMFTest, I found the non-client may input composed text. Here's how to reproduce.

1. Start IMFTest
2. Click "Lightweight component, passive client, own context'
3. Input some Japanese characters and commit the input
4. Click "Lightweight component, non-client"
5. Type key 'A'. You will see the passive text input.
6. Commit the text which goes to the non-client.

This symptom is reproducible from 1.4.2_13, 1.5.0_10, and 1.6.0.

All are broken since 5.0u10.

is it affected jdk8?

The symptom is reproducible from 5.0u10 and it doesn't seem to be dependent on native IMEs.

EVALUATION The symptom seems to be reproducible only with Google IME. It works with MS IME correctly. Need more investigation.

EVALUATION I suspect that the 6306625 and 6228914 changes affected input method client control.
