was added, including when the source contains only separators or all
non-separator registrations fail; preserve the existing separator handling
otherwise.

I don't want to add it if it can only work on X11. I think maybe it worth to thing if we could do something novel to support wayland |
|
I mean.. isn't it looks too werid like this? 
|
|
Here is how it looks on macOS |
|
@eagleoflqj I know, but there's some technical issue on wayland to do it properly like a popup menu on wayland. Basically input panel surface can't (right now) be attached with a xdg_popup. I'm thinking if we could avoid use popup but invent some "novel" way to display it. |
|
👌🏻I'll look further into this issue. |
We can brainstorm some design first. The wayland thing is like dancing with shackles right now because of missing proper xdg popup support. |

I have updated this PR to address the Wayland UX concern. For The legacy I rebased the fix onto the current PR head and pushed it to this branch. The complete Please review the new Wayland popup implementation, especially compositor placement on |

- Around line 536-539: In the branch handling a changed input method context,
reset candidateMenuSurfaceV2_ before recreating it through the new input-method

candidateMenuSurfaceV2_ is not reused across input methods, while preserving the
existing candidate popup creation flow.

Follow-up: I also addressed the two remaining compatibility limitations from the previous update. The menu is now an independent This also avoids relying on compositor-chosen popup placement for the action menu. The change is in commit Please review the subsurface approach on both the v2 and legacy v1 protocols, especially compositor input handling for the child surface. |
|
I don't feel wl sub surface would solve any problem, because I believe sub surface is not allow to show window out side parent. Can you provide screen shot? |
Apply the subsurface position on its parent immediately so the menu can appear without waiting for an unrelated input panel update. Clear its role when the input method context changes.
