I tried attached testcase.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AWTTextTest1 extends Frame {
    AWTTextTest1() {
        setTitle("AWTTextTest1");
        setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
        add(new TextField());
        add(new TextField());
        addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
        setSize(400, 300);
        setVisible(true);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new AWTTextTest1();
    }
}
1. Start testcase
2. Click upper TextField, turn on IME, type some character (In case of Japanese, type "aiu")
3. Click lower TextField, preedit string is committed into lower TextField.

Without the fix, preedit string was canceled by above operation.
