None of those three apps use Gtk+ text widgets... So it's their ownbugs. Test with gedit, if it works, it's most probably not a Gtk+ bug.AbiWord and Inkscape both get the glyphs out of Pango/Gtk+ and renderthemselves. So they don't quite hint Gtk+ where the IM box should bepositioned, something like that... > In Inkscape, the same behaviour also appears on my Windows system.> > Does someone know how to solve this problem?
