--- Comment #4 from Pau Giner <[email protected]> --- When designing the input method menu, one of the constraints was to make it work for all kinds of input elements. The reason for that is that input elements are used in many different ways for the different MediaWiki projects and extensions. This means that we wanted a generic solution that requires no adjustments from the developers of each input element. In addition, during usability testing we observed that users expect to find input options close to the actual input element. Since the input menu is added on top of the UI, it is true that can hide some content. To solve that we did the following: * Display the menu below the input field to avoid hiding the content the user is typing on small fields. * Make it disappear when the user is not typing in a few seconds. * Allow users to disable the input method tools. * Allow developers to include a "no-ime" class for input elements where input methods make no sense. In the example you present, by waiting two seconds the list of suggestions is completely visible. Regarding the input method label, it is relevant for users that switch between different languages. We may consider how to make it more compact without affecting its use, but I see that more as a little enhancement than an issue of the current approach. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
