AttributedString class is used in input method implementation.
In solaris, when i use the AttributedString class to implement the preedit string hightlights, It display the string reversely. If the caret position is in the string's range, this would make the caret position be invisible.

program segment:
            AttributedString attrstr =
              new AttributedString(showResult.getPreedit());

            attrstr.addAttribute(TextAttribute.INPUT_METHOD_HIGHLIGHT, InputMethodHighlight.SELECTED_RAW_TEXT_HIGHLIGHT,0,showResult.getPosition());

            inputMethodEvent = new InputMethodEvent(client,
              InputMethodEvent.INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED,
              attrstr.getIterator(),
              committedCharacterCount,
              null,
              null);
