The char selection window is not next to the cursor (in Firefox)

Created by: dictcp

Summary When I am typing Chinese in Firefox, the ibus char selection window is not next to the cursor but at the bottom of the window. (as shown in the attachment) I encounter this problem on both Ubuntu 14.04 under GNOME shell. I have also tested it on ibus-table-zh-quick5 and the ibus-table works fine. It seems it is ibus-cangjie issue.

Package versions: ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu3 ibus-cangjie 2.1-1ubuntu1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. install ubuntu, ibus-cangjie and firefox
  2. enable quick input method
  3. try typing in the address bar
  4. the char selection windows is shown at the bottom of the Firefox window Expected behaviour: it should be next to the cursor (the typing position)

Reproducible Always
