JDK-4150206 - InputContext.selectInputMethod(null) does not throw exception
Description
The behavior of selectInputMethod(Locale) is dependent upon the initial
locale of the default input method associated with a new input context.

The JCK would like specification information for the initial locale.
With selectInputMethod(Locale) we can indirectly test this state.
Comments
EVALUATION Currently, the locale setting of IM is not well defined and the behavior largely depends on each adapter implementation. This issue must be clarified along with Engine SPI issues. masayoshi.okutsu@Eng 1998-08-06 JDK1.3 introduced a new method InputContext.getLocale() to obtain the current locale for the attached input method. It is now able to know the initial locale for the input context by this method. So I'll close this bug as a duplicate of 4105244 (Input Method Engine SPI). naoto.satoh@eng 1999-09-28
