Running the branch (with the latest master merged) on macOS 14.7.1, noticed that IME window does not show reliably:  It gets eventually shown if I commit and keep typing. Also, it almost feels like the internal state is not cleared when the popup gets dismissed - can you try that please? Also, you may want to merge the latest master, this branch has been out for quite some time. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1634#issuecomment-2515525320
