Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp Texttool Native Language

[Michael Bauer <fios akerbeltz org>]

Regarding Chinese:

I tested Pinyin (stupid machine can't do Cantonese, bah) and it sort of 
works. You start typing Pinyin and the suggestions window pops up and 
displays the different suggestions and inserts them correctly.

What does not work well is the alignment. In other programs (again, 
tested Firefox and LibreOffice), the OS places the suggestions window 
near the cursor and moves the window along as you type. It cannot be 
manually repositioned (as far as I can tell).

In Gimp, the window appears, as do suggestions and they are inserted 
correctly. However, it insists on placing the suggestions window in the 
bottom left of the Gimp window and since I cannot reposition it (and 
would have to do so every time I type since it autocloses), it makes 
typing very annoying because my eyes have to keep jumping between the 
cursor area and the bottom left of the window.

It would seem that non-Latin script entry methods on OSX don't work well 
with Gimp in general.
