for those that are unfamiliar in this area - what is "unclear" in those pictures? I see a very visible blue highlight for a suggestion in the popover.

@fossfreedom sorry I'm not practical English speaker, maybe low contrast is more exact.

For example,

you can see the color of iBus input (the part of d d d sa which I typed) is too close to the background, so it hard to identify when you watch them in front of your screen.

I make another sample

I think the issue is clear, now that you explained that it's about the selected text and nothing to do with the actual popover.

However, I was unable to figure out how to access the input popover, could you explain how to make it appear? Although, it may be that it's inaccessible when using locales with latin characters only.

You can install iBus first, then adding an input method (in the screenshot I using sunpinyin), then open gedit, switch to IME and type something, then you can reproduce it.

Thanks, I've never had to input any non-latin languages so this was all new to me. I was able to figure it out and set up the sunpinyin for ibus.

However, for me, the inputted latin characters aren't displayed on the text input area, as in your screenshots, but at the top of the popover instead: I think some characters aren't displayed on the screenshot, but that should be unrelated and something on my system. I also tested some other IMEs and they worked the same way for me.

Maybe this has changed recently in ibus. Could you check what version of ibus and ibus-sunpinyin you have installed?
