Hi,

My system is Gentoo amd64, KDE4. Updated to latest. My iBus works fine previously, but I do not remember since which update this issue occurs. The problem is, in a KDE app, like KWriter, when I start iBus, the input window is not follow my cursor; instead, it is stick right below the KWriter bottom window frame. And this position will not update, that is when I move the KWrite window, the input window is still at the original place it is first shown.

But in Chromium, I do not have this issue. The input window works as expected as before. So I think the problem is in KDE. But I do not know how to troubleshoot the problem.

Did you check your USE(esp. gtk gtk3 etc.)  for Apps that get this problem or did you change related USE recently? If so,add them or change them back as before. I got that problem before when I compiled Firefox etc. without gtk & gtk3 support. And I added them in /etc/portage/package.use and problem solved. However,I also use Opera and my fictx don't follow input window till today while there's no such problem with Firefox and Chrome at all. BTY, I am using Gentoo x86, KDE4, Fcitx.

This is because that opera is using xim[1]. You can find some useful information about cursor following problem here[2].

金山wps升级到a9后,貌似 也用不了输入法了,不知有没有降级的办法抑或其他?
