apply_input_method_commit_replacementfiresinputwithout a precedingbeforeinput.
apply_input_method_commit_replacementsets a replacement selection and callstarget->handle_insert(UIEvents::InputTypes::insertCompositionText, text)at line 4752.FormAssociatedTextControlElement::handle_insertdoes not dispatchbeforeinputitself; it only dispatchesinputthroughdid_edit_text_node.Every other composition-driven edit in this file builds and dispatches a
beforeinputevent before callinghandle_insert(see lines 4652-4681 inreplace_input_method_marked_text). This function skips that step, so an IME commit that replaces text around the caret (a case this function exists specifically to handle, per the INTEROP comment referencing Blink and WebKit) firesinputwith no precedingbeforeinput.This breaks the exact capability the PR targets: editors such as Slate and Discord intercept
beforeinputto control composition commits. Dispatch abeforeinputevent here before callinghandle_insert, matching the block already used inreplace_input_method_marked_text.🐛 Proposed fix

4462-4468: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the duplicated "resolve target for UI-facing events" logic.
dispatch_composition_event(lines 4462-4468) and thebeforeinputblock inreplace_input_method_marked_text(lines 4675-4679) both compute the same fallback chain:document->focused_area(), thendocument->body(), then&document->root(). Extract this into a small private helper (for example,LocalNavigable::composition_event_target(DOM::Document&)) and call it from both places.♻️ Proposed refactor
GC::Ptr<DOM::EventTarget> LocalNavigable::composition_event_target(DOM::Document& document) { if (auto target = document.focused_area()) return target; if (auto* body = document.body()) return body; return &document.root(); }Also applies to: 4675-4680

revalidate the composition target and node after every scriptable event
dispatch, including beforeinput and input-related execution. Do not continue
using the captured target if focus changes or the composing element is detached;

- Around line 4641-4657: Reset all input-method composition state when its
document or input-events target is lost: update the early-return cleanup in
replace_input_method_marked_text and apply_input_method_commit_replacement to
clear the active flag and last marked text as well as the composition node, and
ensure set_active_document clears the same session state when replacing the
document.
- Around line 4664-4672: In the composition-selection branch of LocalNavigable,
revalidate m_input_method_composition_offset against
m_input_method_composition_node’s current length before calling
EditingHostManager::set_selection_anchor. If the node is stale or the offset is
out of bounds, abort or reset the composition and skip selection updates; only
call set_selection_anchor for a valid stored composition range.
In `@Tests/LibWeb/Text/expected/input-method-composition-events.txt`:
- Around line 64-72: Update the selection-replacement expectations in the
composition event test so both compositionstart entries report data="好",
reflecting the selected text, and the final input value is "q" after replacing
that selection. Preserve the remaining event sequence and attributes.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review.
Problem: Dead-key/accented-character/IME composition didn’t work in pages using editors such as Slate — e.g., not in Discord.com chat. Cause: An input method’s composition was invisible to page scripts. No composition events were fired; a page couldn’t distinguish preedit text and committed text from ordinary typing; and no beforeinput was fired for it at all. Because many pages use React-based (or similar) editors (e.g. Slate) that keep their own document model and reconcile it against the DOM, those editors rely on composition events to tell them when an IME’s composing — so they can suspend that reconciliation. Without that, editors end up re-rendering from an old model state that never recorded the composition — and the composed characters (letters accented via dead keys, CJK candidates) are clobbered as soon as anything else is typed. Fix: Implement composition events and other necessary requirements per- spec — and/or interoperably with other engines.
