Build: 03-08 mozilla trunk build We fixed very similar problems with other SimpChinese IMEs in bug 90583, this one is just for Intelligent("ZhiNeng") ABC. Currently cause we have a crash bug 125573, you can not see the problem on Netscape commercial build, you have to use mozilla build to reproduce it. Steps: 1. Launch browser, and open Composer. 2. Enable SimpChinese IME, and switch to Intelligent(ZhiNeng) ABC. 3. Start typing. Result: You will find the candidate window always in left top of Composer window, and when your input position in that part, the candidate window will cover the current input line.
-> nsbeta1, it's bad when using this SimpChinese IME.

ok, now we know what happen. there are a preference for this ime. If you right mouse click on the status bar of that ime, it show you a list of menu, the last item is preference setting . select it will bring up a preference box, in the left part, it let user choose "style" the default is "follow the caret" and the other one is "fix", if user select "fix" then the candidate window will always show on the botton of the screen. The default setting will let the candidate window following the "caret". since mozilla do not use the window caret, we never call the SetCaretPos call. to fix this, we should check if we are using this ime, when we set the candidat window position, create a caret and call SetCaretPos to tell the IME the new position. nasty.
roy- could you r= this one ?
