Select all box on Android positioning itself on top of the text.

The text tool input in Krita 5.3 does not show an on-screen keyboard when the text is interacted with. This happens both on Android and on Windows.

On Android, the box that's supposed to show up on top of the text with options like "select all" and "copy" and whatnot is also very jittery and will place itself over the text you're trying to edit, rather than on top of the text area where it belongs.

Presumably these are caused by missing IME event handling.

Thanks,

I don't know yet how I am going to debug this.

For the record, the queries are here:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/blob/master/plugins/tools/svgtexttool/SvgTextCursor.cpp#L845

Events are below that, and then there's an input transform that gets set.

The second issue with the popup appearing over the text is a problem with all text inputs, it's not related to the text tool. Moved to Bug 513129.
