Note: This is a re-opened report of LOOM-663 — the previous report (LOOM-663) was closed, but the fix only addressed a different issue. The originally reported behavior still reproduces.

Issue Summary

Japanese IME input in the Loom video comment field is not properly handling the IME composition state. When users type Japanese text and use IME conversion, the Enter key is triggering form submission before composition is finalized, causing character conversion to stop and some characters to be duplicated in the posted comment. This affects Japanese (and likely other IME-based languages) in the Loom comment box only.

Steps to Reproduce

https://www.loom.com/share/a58b03fb7492435d8f1e6db72127feb0

1. Access the Loom Dashboard via the Chrome browser.

1. Select any video and click into the comment field.

1. Enter a Japanese comment (for example: ふくざつかいきなじしょうがはっせいしております).

1. Press the Space key to perform character conversion and view candidates.

1. Press Enter to confirm the IME conversion.

Expected Results

• IME character conversion continues normally.

• The user can choose which converted characters to apply.

• The comment text is converted correctly and is not duplicated.

• The Enter key finalizes the IME composition without prematurely submitting or interrupting input.

Actual Results

• Character conversion stops unexpectedly in the Loom comment field.

• Some characters are duplicated in the resulting text (for example:
  複雑怪奇なふくざつかいきなじしょうがはっせいしております).

• The Enter key is treated as a form submission trigger before IME composition is finalized, resulting in unconverted or duplicated text being submitted.

Workaround

No explicit workaround is documented .
Given the described behavior, possible user workarounds (not confirmed in the ticket) might include:

• Avoid pressing Enter while IME composition is active; click outside the field or use mouse interactions to finalize text before submitting.

• Type and finalize the Japanese text in another input (e.g., a text editor) and then paste it into the Loom comment field.
