[jdk8u-dev] RFR: 8278472: Invalid value set to CANDIDATEFORM structure

Fri Apr 25 02:38:08 UTC 2025

Hi all,

This is a backport of JDK-8278472: Invalid value set to CANDIDATEFORM structure

Except for the fix for Copyright year and the path change, original patch applies cleanly to 8u.
This resolves an issue where the candidate window does not appear when using an IME other than Microsoft IME.

Testing: jdk_desktop tests on Windows Server 2022 (some tests failed, but they failed before this fix was made)

Thanks.
