Candidate Popup is hidden by Cinnamon menu

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm luyikei,Cinnamon developer.
I found this bug and I thought this bug is caused by mozc.

To fix this bug, we should make GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL GTK_WINDOW_POPUP.
And, in mutter and muffin , the popup should be recognized as 
META_WINDOW_POPUP_MENU

_____________________

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use Mozc and Cinnamon or Gnome-Shell

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
All versions of Linux,Mozc,Gnome-Shell,Cinnamon


Please provide any additional information below.

If I use anthy, the bug will not appear in Cinnamon.

Thank you for the report.

According to screen shots you attached, this seems to be an issue of 
mozc_renderer.
If so, an easy work around is simply uninstalling (removing) mozc_renderer. 
Then IBus default candidate popup will be used like Anthy.

Anyway let me calibrating the priority compared with other issues including 
Google Japanese Input.

Thanks,

Thanks.
But the solution can not fix the essential problem.
I want Mozc Team to fix mozc_renderer.

Yes, the root cause should be fixed. I just want to say that there is a 
*workaround* for this issue. This is why I didn't change the status to 
"WontFix".

As for Cinnamon menu, the attached patch should fix the issue.

On the other hand, under the Gnome-Shell environment, it seems that we need to 
implement the popup UI as a part of Gnome-Shell like the default candidate 
popup UI of IBus.  As far as I've tested, we are unable to show any window over 
the immersive search window of Gnome-Shell no matter what _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE 
is specified.  Is this correct?

I'm not Gnome-shell developer so I'm not sure about fixing Mozc under the 
Gnome-shell environment

But I can say that the patch will fix the bug on Cinnamon.Thank you.

OK. Thank you for taking time to test it. The next release will contain the 
attached patch.

Let me close this issue as Fixed since the issue you reported for Cinnamon is 
fixed.
