Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.3.1-1.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
The ibus candidates can't be seen when I entering the second chinese character
or editting the second time in the text object. But it's all right in
"Squeeze".

I'm experiencing the same issue in Wheezy. Ibus does not appear to recognize Inkscape as an input window.

However the behavior is erratic, after clicking on the ibus sys-tray icon and trying again I get the input candidates as they're supposed to appear. I'm trying to replicate steps that make the input candidates appear properly.

[Mark Lewis William Johnson (mark-mrwizard)]

Sorry, I'd like to correct my previous statement. It does not seem to be the case that Ibus does not recognize Inkscape as an input window. I'm rather confused by what's going on with this issue.

[Mark Lewis William Johnson (mark-mrwizard)]

I believe I've identified what's happening.

It seems that the input candidates dialog box appears outside of the screen bounds when it is "not showing".

In a word processor like lowriter, the candidates dialog box would appear right below the text being entered. However in Inkscape it appears to be randomly placed? I realized this when I saw the top border of the dialog box at the bottom 2 pixels of my screen.

I hope that helps.

I confirm this in Saucy (13.10).
The input method is all right in 13.04, so it's a big regresion.

I'm not sure which time this is not functioning, just sometimes I can not switch to the next candidate page. And, when an input window is is at the bottom of the screen, sometimes the candidates window show below the screen where I can not seen (e.g., when input in a maximized pidgin chat window.)

I also have this issue with Arch Linux, kernel version 3.13.8-1-ARCH, inkscape version 0.48.4-13, ibus version 1.5.6-2. I'm also running Gnome shell version 3.10.4-1.

[Tyler Foo (tftylerfoo)]

I switched to fcitx, but the problem remains. Like what the others said, the input candidates dialog box kept appearing outside of the screen bounds.
