Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the input-method-v1 plugin and one of the listed text-input clients, such as Telegram Desktop, Wireshark, or Chrome. Trace the popup behavior from the input-method-v1 entry point; done means the input method popup appears while preedit text is active.
