Glyph composition highlighting in Chrome differs from native highlighting

Project Member Reported by rlanday@chromium.org, Sep 26 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 63.0.3218.0
OS: macOS 10.12.6

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Go to editpad.org
(2) Click in the edit area and hit Option-e to start typing an accented character

What is the expected result?

The accent mark waiting for a joining character should be highlighted like in a native macOS text widget (see screenshots).

What happens instead?

The accent mark waiting for a joining character is underlined instead of highlighted.


Safari gets it almost right, but amusingly, it appears to get the color wrong.

Also, clicking immediately to the left and right of the accent mark in TextEdit doesn't clear its state, but it does in Chrome (and also Safari).

This is similar to Issue 612675 which I want to fix (but the fix there is unlikely to affect Blink).

Summary: Glyph composition highlighting in Chrome differs from native highlighting (was: Accent joining UI on Mac doesn't match native Mac behavior)
Editpad is not needed, any textbox, like the bugtracker text box here will work. Chrome highlights the composition stage with underlining, while native applications, including Adobe Illustrator for example, highlight the accent with a shaded yellow box.
