I am a native speaker of Chinese. I tested it using the ibus pinyin input method on Ubuntu. I found some problems:

* Input method candidate window sometimes appear in the wrong location:

* When the focus moves away from a text field, the console will continuously output an assertion error log:


(java:3296): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 20:18:35.210: gtk_im_context_set_cursor_location: assertion 'GTK_IS_IM_CONTEXT (context)' failed

It appears to be in the correct position, but another issue still exists.
