Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build the attached app and run it in a 10.1 Player (needs 10.1 for in-line IME support).
2. Put focus into the edit field, change the IME to Japanese/Hiragana mode, and press the 'a' key a few times.
3. Press the spacebar twice to show the candidate list. Note the list's location.
4. Use the sliders to change the edit field's position and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Delete all the text in the text field, change the edit field's position, and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Actual Results:
The position of the candidate list relative to the text field is inconsistent. If you delete the text in the field before moving the field, position of the candidate list appears to shift to the right and downward away from the text field proportionally to how far the text field is from the upper-left corner of the window. If you don't delete the text in the field before moving it, the candidate list will sometimes (not always) appear in its old position.

Expected Results:
The candidate list should always appear next to or below the text field.

Workaround (if any):
