<AWT Dev> [10] Review request for 8183504: 8u131 Win 10, issue with wrong position of Sogou IME popup

[Semyon Sadetsky]

Hi Prasanta,

This guide is about java IME not the native one. It is impossible to 
change native IME style from java especially a 3rd-party IME which Sogou 
IME is.

The updated fix: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ssadetsky/8183504/webrev.02/
