Hi, Hallvord-
The testing we did on this issue was inconsistent between different
implementations in combination with different IMEs. So, we did add a
note mentioning possible key suppression.

Please let us know if this satisfies your issue.

ISSUE-137 (IME-keypress): Should keypress events fire when using an IME? [DOM3

[[
current spec text says about the keypress event:
This event type shall be generated after the keyboard mapping
but before the processing of an input method editor, normally
associated with the dispatching of a compositionstart, compositionupdate,
or compositionend event.
I think this is wrong, if an IME is actively processing the input no
keypress event should fire.
