> @hellyguo I can't reproduce the problem you're seeing. I configured a Debian Bookworm system with Fcitx5 and Pinyin and tested this PR and everything worked. The Linux and Fcitx version numbers are the same as yours. I also installed fcitx5 on my existing Ubuntu 24.10 system and it worked there, also.

In your screen capture the input method window was clearly in the wrong location but in my testing it was correctly positioned near the JavaFX caret.

@beldenfox , you are right.
I created a brand new env in virt-manager:


virt at virtdeb:~$ uname -a
Linux virtdeb 6.1.0-28-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.119-1 (2024-11-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

virt at virtdeb:~$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

virt at virtdeb:~$ java -version
openjdk version "23.0.1" 2024-10-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 23.0.1+11-39)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0.1+11-39, mixed mode, sharing)

virt at virtdeb:~$ fcitx5 -v
5.0.21


After tested, I found that what you said is true. Forgot what I said, go ahead.

Thanks again for your(@tsayao / @beldenfox ) amazing working.
