[Bug 58693] Re: onKeyPress event not fired when typing accents

[Jacobsallan]

Updated https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308820 .  It's been
moved to "RESOLVED INCOMPLETE" state.  It needs to be reopened on the
Mozilla side.

I think I know what is going on.  Newer versions of Firefox are firing
compositionstart, compositionupdate, and compositionend events;  and not
dispatching keypress events for dead key combinations.  Refer to
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-keyboardevents and
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-textevents .

There an error in the implementation of compositionend.

Firefox browsers are not firing textinput events.  I believe that this
is the only way Firefox will enable JavaScript developers to write code
that is OS-independent.  This is going to require a more senior Mozilla
engineer to give the go-ahead as it will involve the talents of multiple
engineers.

It's probably worth tracking bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447757 , as it has a new
HTML example attached.
