Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it
I’ve encountered an issue with the Chinese input experience in Zed when using the Fcitx5 input method. Specifically, the candidate box behaves differently compared to other applications.
When I type multiple Chinese words in Zed, the left edge of the candidate box follows the cursor and moves to the right as I type. This causes a significant problem with usability because I have to constantly adjust my focus to follow the moving candidate box.
In comparison, when I use applications like Alacritty or Firefox, the candidate box remains fixed at the initial input position, which provides a much better input experience.
Environment
Zed: v0.159.7 (Zed) OS: Linux Wayland nixos 24.11 Memory: 15.5 GiB Architecture: x86_64 GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) || Intel open-source Mesa driver || Mesa 24.2.5
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature
I am attaching two screenshots for reference:
A screenshot showing the moving candidate box behavior in Zed.
A screenshot showing the fixed candidate box behavior in Alacritty.
If applicable, attach your Zed.log file to this issue.
