Description Petr Šabata 2014-01-02 10:45:07 UTC
Description of problem:
In certain situations, ibus compose/candidates windows are often placed off screen, making it fairly unusable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.5.4-2.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing in a XIM application at the lower border of your screen (my typical usage: an IRC client in xterm)

OR

1. Make the candidates/compose window appear at the lower border of your screen; this is especially bad with the vertical candidates list orientation (example usage: the same as above; or type in a fullscreen non-XIM editor and reach the bottom of your screen)

Actual results:
The composed character or the candidates list are drawn off screen.

Expected results:
IBus detects this situation and draws its windows elsewhere, for instance above the input.

Additional info:
I recently switched to IBus from SCIM which didn't have this issue.  Perhaps you could find some inspiration there.
