MacOS has an i18n feature where long-pressing on a key (e.g. e) that may have diacriticals
in non-English Latin-script languages (e.g. French) will open a popup that lets one choose
the letter with a diacritical version. This doesn't really work as intended in Edwood:
the letter appears in Edwood on key-down
(simultaneously) the MacOS window appears. It's locaiton is "near" the insertion point
but not correctly positioned (how did it pick a location?) (It looks like it's at the corner of the
Window. But how is that communicated to the OS?)
click on the letter with a diacritical delivers the letter with the diacritical to the Edwood
Window now under the mouse cursor.
To fix this:
position the popup such that the affordance suggesting insertion is much closer to the
insertion point
the Text target of the insertion popup is noted
don't insert a character on key-down.
This concievably is actually a devdraw bug so perhaps can only be fixed with changes there
or use of an alternative (c.f. #205)
