Summary:
When using SylphyHornPlus on Windows 11, Japanese IME composition windows (including candidate lists) appear in the top-left corner of the screen after switching virtual desktops.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install SylphyHornPlus and run it in the background.
  2. Open a Chromium-based app (e.g. Chrome, UpNote).
  3. Switch to another virtual desktop using Ctrl+Win+Arrow.
  4. Return to the original desktop, where a previously focused text input field (e.g. a textarea) is automatically re-focused.
  5. Start typing in Japanese using Google Japanese Input or Microsoft IME.

Expected Behavior:
The IME composition window and candidate list should appear near the text cursor.

Actual Behavior:
The IME composition window and candidate list appear at the top-left corner of the display.

Workaround:
Exiting SylphyHornPlus immediately resolves the issue.

Environment:

  • Windows 11 (Version 23H2 / 24H2)
  • Google Japanese Input / Microsoft IME
  • SylphyHornPlusWin11 v4.0.0-beta.13
  • Chrome / UpNote

Note:
This issue does not occur when SylphyHornPlus is not running. It appears that SylphyHornPlus interferes with IME positioning, possibly by modifying window focus or message handling after a desktop switch.

Captured Movie:
Here is a screen recording that demonstrates the behavior using UpNote (and SakuraEditor for comparison).
