Hello! Thanks for reporting this issue - would you be able to provide some more info on what exactly you input, what happened, and what the expected behavior should be? Thank you!

In the current stable version of warp terminal, using the mac's own Chinese input method, inputting any Chinese will have the above problem, the candidate word box can't follow the cursor, but always fixed in the bottom left corner of the whole screen.

I wonder if this is related to #341

Likely related: I just filed #9709 with a reproducible test case for 超注音 (Yahoo Bopomofo, a third-party Traditional Chinese IME), where right/left arrow advances candidate selection by 2 instead of 1.

Different surface symptom from this issue (event double-counting vs. candidate window positioning), but the suspected root cause — keyDownImpl in crates/warpui/src/platform/mac/objc/host_view.m dispatching keyDown events through two parallel paths (interpretKeyEvents: + warp_handle_view_event) during IME composition — could plausibly explain both. Linking here in case it helps maintainers consolidate.
