Description of problem: For all CJKI, users are required to select candidates from the candidate window. In evolution, this candidate window is always positioned at 0,0. As a result, it obstruct users from seeing what was typed earlier. It would be ideal if the candidate window is positioned below the cursor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-webcal-2.2.0-1 evolution-2.2.2-5 evolution-data-server-1.2.2-2 evolution-devel-2.2.2-5 evolution-data-server-devel-1.2.2-2 evolution-connector-2.2.2-3 evolution-debuginfo-2.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 evolution 2. Go to task list 3. Go to new task entry in the widget 4. Type "sushi", space, space 5. observe rthe position of the candidate window Actual results: candidate window block the user from seeing what was typed earlier Expected results: candidate window positioned below the cursor Additional info:
Has this bug been filed upstream?
Yes. I have added to the External Bugzilla References section in our bz, towards the bottom of the page. <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303877>
Is this actually fixed upstream now (looking at that upstream report)? Which version?
Created attachment 129172 [details] problem description It looks as if the bug does not appears anymore as the text being typed is visible. Lawrence, can you please confirm... Thanks, Mayank

This bug is not fixed yet. It still exists. Candidate window is not appearing below the cursor. Tested on the package versions : evolution-2.7.3-2 evolution-data-server-1.7.3-2 evolution-sharp-0.11.1-1 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-4 Tested on O.S. : Fedora Core Release 5.89 (Rawhide) i386.
Created attachment 131788 [details] Modified patch Modified an upstream patch, documented it & adapted it to latest codebase. Things work perfect at my end now. QE, kindly test. Thanks, Mayank
