Description Boyuan Yang 2014-06-01 12:17:45 UTC
Using Konqueror with KHTML engine, choose input method fcitx to type CJK character into the webpage, the word-selecting window will not appear at the correct place where I am typing ( when kimpanel is not used ) , or won't appear at all ( when package kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel is installed and used ).

====Chinese translation:=====
KDE 下使用 Konqueror 与 KHTML 时,使用 fcitx 作为输入法,在不使用 Kimpanel,即使用经典 UI 时,光标跟随位置不正常(可能靠下几百个像素)。在使用 Kimpanel 时,只会在显示带有下划线的候选词,但根本没有候选框。

==========================
Relavant discussion can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/fcitx/issues/detail?id=569
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/fcitx-notifications/AwyXFZV7E7g/DPayjPvX_c4J

The discussion result is that it should be a bug of Konqueror rather than fcitx.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install konqueror, fcitx, fcitx-libpinyin (and kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel , actually the behaviour will change if kimpanel is used.)
2.use KHTML engine, find a place to type, activate the input method using ctrl+space.
3.start typing.
Actual Results:  
* When kimpanel is not used, the windows shown for you to select characters will not follow the cursor. Maybe it is several hundreds pixels below the correct place.

* When kimpanel is used and added as a plasma widget, NO word-selecting window will show up.

Expected Results:  
* No matter kimpanel is used or not, the word-selecting window will show up beside the cursor.

* As described in https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Fcitx , Kimpanel and the classic-UI are two different UI of fcitx. Kimpanel is a DBus-based User Interface for Fcitx while classic-UI a is a Xlib-based user interface.
Both of them are not working well with Konqueror+KHTML.

* If I choose the Webkit engine for Konqueror, there won't be any problem at all.

* Typing in search bar and address bar works normally.

* Using Archlinux, updated on 1th Jun. 2014

P.S.  This bug should have existed for years.

> find a place to type

But where? You say that both search and address bar work normally.

Sorry, it should be "find a place within the webpage that can type words", or any kind of textbox within the webpage.

For example, open https://www.google.com and type words in the searching *textbox* of google.
