SUMMARY Ghostwritter seems doesn't have proper input method (IME) support, IME position will always be at the top-left corner of the window. Tested both under Arch Linux with fcitx5-rime and Windows 11 with it's default Microsoft Chs-IME when Windows system language was set to Chinese. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install an IME (Chinese/Japanese/etc.) on your system 2. Open Ghostwriter 3. Type anything with IME enabled OBSERVED RESULT IME popped at the top-left side of the window. EXPECTED RESULT IME popped at the correct position (normally below the input cursor) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 21H2 Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (rolling) KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Linux version get from Arch Linux's official package repo, with ghostwriter 2.1.4-1 Windows version get from GitHub, release 2.1.6 I did a quick glance at the related source code and it seems the MarkdownEditor widget/class didn't handle the QWidget::inputMethodQuery(Qt::InputMethodQuery) query so that's probably the reason... Feel free to let me know if you need any extra information.
Hi Gary, I have a question for you. Which IME application are you using so I can try to replicate this? A followup question would be: Is this application for GTK or Qt apps? Thanks!
Hi again, > Which IME application are you using so I can try to replicate this? As already provided in the original report: When tested under Arch Linux: fcitx5-rime [1] When tested under Windows 11: default Microsoft Chs-IME when Windows system language was set to Chinese. [1]: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/fcitx5-rime/ in case you need a link. > A followup question would be: Is this application for GTK or Qt apps? It would be generic enough to support both GTK and Qt apps. I did set up some environment variable to make fcitx work under my Arch Linux installation tho. here is the related content in my `/etc/environment` file: GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

Does yours? It might work better that way. Unfortunately, neither the vanilla fcitx nor the fcitx-qt apps launch for me on my distro. :( I'll have to spend more time to get it working. But in the meantime, if you could try with the Qt version of fcitx, that would be of great help!

> I noticed my own distro has fcitx-qt as a package. Does yours? It might work better that way. We does have fcitx(5)-qt under Arch Linux, but fcitx is a IME framework, and fcitx(5)-qt is a IME module, it doesn't means there will be better Qt support. btw, *any* IME should be able to reproduce this issue, for example ibus can be used to reproduce issue too if you can't get fcitx working. Or you can also use Windows to reproduce this issue with any IME installed and enabled while typing words, e.g. https://www.google.co.jp/ime/ > But in the meantime, if you could try with the Qt version of fcitx, that would be of great help! I don't think it will be fixed unless we add QWidget::inputMethodQuery(Qt::InputMethodQuery) support to the app to tell IME where to show the IME window...
