Yes, I have noticed the problem and most of the stuff are fixed in

https://st.suckless.org/patches/fix_ime/

Except on the part where st started before IME, maybe I will look into
that in the future but that is not critical for me such that I only want
to find way to quickly switch between chinese and japanese input as well
as for the pre-edit area to be right below the cursor.

I personally use fcitx with shuangpin (or mozc) but there is no issues
so probably ibus does not have issue as well.

Thanks for submitting this issue though.

Greetings,
I've decided to give a st a try but I've hit a problem quite quickly. It
seems that IBus input is not handled completely correctly. While trying
to input japanese inside rxvt-unicode (using IBus with Anthy), it shows
the prompt around the cursor (urxvt.png). While for st, the prompt is
displayed at the bottom of the terminal window (st.png), which makes it
hard to us.

I guess I'm not asking to get this fixed (since I can see it's probably
not a problem to the current users), however I want to know, if I put
together a patch for this, would it be accepted?


Maybe, and only if the patch is good ofcourse.

Also have a look at this patch:
https://st.suckless.org/patches/fix_ime/

I want to integrate this patch upstream, but in my testing this patch doesn't
improve much. Maybe it improves things for you?

In these specific problems it is very important to describe the problem exactly
and with reproducable steps. Sometimes I cannot reproduce a problem at all or
it is costs me way too much time.

Thank you for your time.
