Indeed it is

What IME language are you using? (Precisely — I know you mention Chinese, but Windows supports a bunch of different Chinese IMEs.)

What key strokes demonstrate the issue? What is the expected outcome, and what happens in CodeMirror? Please describe this so that someone who doesn't know Chinese can verify the issue.

For me, IME language is Chinese (Simplified, China).When comes to keyboards, both Microsoft Pinyin and Microsoft Wubi can trigger this problem

You can try to input zhongwen with Microsoft Pinyin on https://codemirror.net/ in a Chromium browser(My edge and chrome are both 126+), Firefox just works well. Seems every character can reproduce this problem that the IME would not find the correct position.

[marijnh]

For me, using Chrome 126 with simplified Chinese IME, typing zhongwen + space in the editor on codemirror.net gives 中文, which looks reasonable. Is there anything else I should be doing to reproduce the issue?

[Arcticn]

Yes, gives 中文 is correct. However, the problem is when you're typing, the IME keeps jump up and down.My chrome version is 126.0.6478.127, and edge is 126.0.2592.81 Foucs on the IME itself in the video, can you reproduce it?

[marijnh]

Oh right, I see what you mean now. That was an obvious bug. Attached patch (released as 6.28.3) should fix it. Not sure how that that wasn't visible on Chrome Linux.

[imzbf]

It seems that this issue still persists, and I am currently using version @codemirror/view@6.28.3.

Browser and platform

Chrome: 126.0.6478.127 MacOS：14.5 simplified Chinese IME

You can attempt to replicate it in the following online example. https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/elated-cherry-ph6y5c?file=%2Findex.html%3A21%2C36

And event compositionstart was not triggered correctly too. Is there a problem with my code?

[marijnh]

Are you seeing the incorrectly positioned IME widget problem, or are you seeing another problem?

compositionstart (as well as other composition events) is no longer fired when the editor uses EditContext. You may be able to query CodeMirror's own composing property for a more reliable way to detect composition.

[imzbf]

Yes, this is a non looping GIF image, it records problem.

[marijnh]

Yes, that looks like the old bug. Is it gone on https://codemirror.net for you?

It still appears sometimes

[Arcticn]

It can be 100% reproduced if I try to input enormous characters in the inputbox (In this video, 28000 characters) Again, just try to input zhongwen+space at the end of the input (characters before perform well) in a chromium brower on Windows. Firefox still works well.

[mingchiuli]

It happen on Chrome. Firefox is normal.

[marijnh]

I think I managed to reproduce the issue visible in your screencast. Try again with 6.28.4.

The IME interface appearing the wrong place happens for me when I start the composition at the start of a line. I verified that CodeMirror is giving the correct coordinates to the browser when this happens, so I suspect that is a Chrome bug. I'll spend some more time trying to reproduce and report that later.

[Arcticn]

Sure, the problem with long article is fixed and the other problem remains, thanks for your work!

[marijnh]

I've reported this in the Chrome tracker as #351029417. Sometimes clicking the +1 button at the top of an issue there helps get attention to it.

[amoydavid]

I encountered the same issue on Mac. The phenomenon I observed is that in Chrome with CodeMirror 6, the Chinese input method hint box moves to the upper left with input. The same browser behaves normally with CodeMirror 5. CodeMirror 6 with Safari is also normal.

126.0.6478.183 (arm64) macOS Sequoia Beta 15.0 （24A5298h） System built-in Simplified Pinyin IME

[orzass]

Microsoft Edge 127.0.2651.74 (arm64) macos sonoma 14.5 sougou pinyin IME

it still happen.

[marijnh]

I'm aware it is still happening. See the Chrome issue I linked above. That has not been fixed that.

[marijnh]

A fix has been merged for Chrome. I'm not sure which version it'll appear in, but I'm going to close this, since I don't see anything more that can be done from my side.
