OpenClaude-Portable Web Dashboard

Technical Positioning
Internationalization (i18n) support, specifically for Japanese IME input in the web interface.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This bug report details a critical internationalization failure: Japanese IME input is broken in the OpenClaude-Portable Web Dashboard. The root cause is identified as an `Enter` key handler conflict with IME composition events, specifically the missing `e.isComposing` check. While a fix is provided for Chrome, Firefox remains problematic, indicating incomplete cross-browser compatibility. This significantly impairs usability for Japanese-speaking users, limiting market access in key regions. Addressing this requires robust i18n testing across browsers and ensuring core UI components correctly handle complex input methods.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue May 7, 2026
Repo: techjarves/OpenClaude-Portable
[Bug] Japanese IME input broken in Web Dashboard (Linux/Chrome+Firefox)

## Environment
- OS: Ubuntu Linux
- Browser: Firefox / Chrome
- IME: fcitx5
- OpenClaude version: v0.9.2
- Provider: Google Gemini

## Bug Description
Japanese IME input does not work in the Web Dashboard chat input field.
Characters cannot be entered at all when using Japanese input (fcitx5).
English input works fine.

## Root Cause
In `dashboard/index.html` line 847, the Enter key handler does not check
`e.isComposing`, causing IME composition events to conflict with the send action.

**Before (buggy):**
```js
if (e.key === 'Enter' && !e.shiftKey) { e.preventDefault(); sendMessage(); }
```

**After (fixed):**
```js
if (e.key === 'Enter' && !e.shiftKey && !e.isComposing) { e.preventDefault(); sendMessage(); }
```

## Additional Notes
- Firefox does not work even after the fix; Chrome works correctly after the fix
- Browser cache must be cleared after applying the fix

## Workaround
Apply the fix above to `dashboard/index.html` and use Chrome browser.
