Thanks for the bug report. I've known it for a while now, but it's always good to have it written down somewhere. :) > Does not happen in F20 gnome. Well, yes, it does, I reproduce it there all the time. ----- A bit more context on this issue. As far as I can tell, the issue is not in IBus Cangjie. I **think** it is either in Firefox, or maybe even in Gtk2. IBus Cangjie does NOT use preedit text, which is what is triggering this issue. I once locally patched my IBus Cangjie to added a dummy preedit text, and the issue wouldn't happen any more. So it seems to me that Firefox (or is it Gtk2?) does not properly position the candidates popup when an input method engine does not use preedit. Most engines do use preedit though, which makes IBus Cangjie stand out here. :(
We found a workaround (thanks to Frédéric Péters for the idea) upstream, and I just made a new 2.4 release including it. It isn't the fix for the issue: the issue still lies in the applications/toolkits which get confused when an engine doesn't use preedit. But with the workaround, at least you will get the candidate popup at the right location, and we can drop the workaround when the real issue is fixed properly. Updates are coming to Fedora shortly.
