Java 26.1 Snapshot 10~: Preserve IME Input Mode When Entering Text Fields

Hello. I am a Japanese-speaking user.

Regarding the fix for “No cross-platform CJK IME support” (MC-91132) in Java 26.1 Snapshot 10, I would like to suggest an improvement.

Currently, the game forces alphanumeric mode during gameplay and switches to CJK mode whenever a text field is opened. This happens regardless of the previous IME state.

The issue is that the IME mode is not preserved. For example:

• ~Snapshot 9: Press T → Type “/reload” → The command executes immediately in alphanumeric mode.

• Snapshot 10~: Press T → Type “/reload” → The IME switches to CJK mode, resulting in incorrect input such as “・れぉあｄ”.

Under the current behavior, users must toggle the IME every time they open chat or manually correct the conversion. This is especially inconvenient when entering commands, or communicating with non-CJK users.

For comparison, this is similar to CAPS LOCK turning on automatically every time you enter a text field. You would need to turn it off each time to type normally.

As an improvement, the IME should preserve the previous input mode. If a user switches to alphanumeric mode while typing, the next text field should open in the same mode.

This change would provide more consistent and practical behavior for most users.
