Remove the /* comment

Done.

Don't you need to show the keyboard window here?

[kevers, 2014/01/13 16:59:10]

Added a comment to clarify. We only wish to show the VK in response to a user
gesture, requiring an explicit call to OnShowImeIfNeeded.  We prevent hiding the
keyboard here if focus-cycling while the keyboard is visible (e.g. hitting the
tab key to move to the next input field).

   }
   // TODO(bryeung): whenever the TextInputClient changes we need to notify the
   // keyboard (with the TextInputType) so that it can reset it's state (e.g.
   // abandon compositions in progress)
 }
