------- Additional Comments from Darin Adler <darin at apple.com>
This strange behavior is necessary to make certain input methods work.
See Richard Williamson's 2005-03-23 check-in comment.
The problem reported was:
<TCIM> CangJie: the candidate window appears at the top left hand corner during
typing in Mail and iChat
1. Can be reproduced under setting : "Show Associated Words" chosen, Dynamic
Prompt chosen/not chosen, Candidate Window direction vertical/horizontal
2. Open Mail
3. Type ??? ( CangJie code: onf vnd rsqf)
* RESULTS
the candidate window appears at the top left hand corner. see attachment
We'll need to test this case if we want to change this function. Ironically,
the Radar bug has a comment from me saying:
"But this leaves the firstRectforCharacterRange method behaving very strangely,
and ignoring the range parameter passed in. We'll have to revisit this
eventually."
