Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Compile and run this sample code below on Japanese locale.
  Then, one window with one rectangle is shown.
2. Move mouse pointer in the rectangle.
3. Press Shift and Space key to activate kinput2
4. Input some characters and keep preedit status. Don't commit them.

It looks kinput2 doesn't work, when the target window (not the main window) was

X/htt or Wnn 7/xwnmo.

Can someone update this issue, please?  The Issue Tracker issue that originated
this is about to become 1 year old, without an update.
Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2003-06-09 09:00:59 UTC 
To clarify whether this is a bug or not, I need to read the XIM spec. the most
codes I know well is GTK+. GTK+ 1.2 did supports the over-the-spot like attached
code. Although I'm not sure if it's kinput2 bugs, the GTK+ 1.2 applications did
repositionning the preedit area, when it received the realize and size_allocate
events. in other words, the applications has a way to resolve this.
I'm not sure if this is MUST thing as the XIM spec at this point.
Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2003-06-24 11:47:56 UTC 
Well, I got a advice. the specification of XIM Protocol didn't mention that who
should be handling the focus window, how should notify the preedit location,
where should be done. we have some solution. but as a lot of apps like gtk1.2
does, most easy and no effects for other apps is the XIM client relocates the
preedit line. I'm not sure how other solution affects all of XIM client. so I
can't fix this soon, and this problem can be fixed in the client side so that
the XIM spec is ambiguous.
Set a low priority and a low severity.
Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2005-03-18 04:32:55 UTC 
Since it's deprecated in current release, and we'd recommend to use IIIMF
instead of, it's hard to have a time to fix this ATM.
