Bug ID: 2013323
           Summary: Cursor position and  conversion regioni of ibus-anthy
                    are invisible in Google Documents (both in firefox and

Video showing the wrongly displayed cursor position using ibus-anthy in Google
Documents
I did choose component ibus, although this is likely not an ibus bug but a
problem in google docs, but I wanted to report it somehow, maybe something can
be done to improve this:
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-20210829.n.0.iso installed in qemu-kvm with
all current updates.
firefox-93.0-2.fc35.x86_64
google-chrome-unstable-96.0.4662.6-1.x86_64
ibus-1.5.25-4.fc35.x86_64
ibus-anthy-1.5.13-1.fc35.x86_64
See the attached video.
In the video I type わたしのなまえはやまだです　first in gedit to show how it should work.
After typing that hiragana, I type space to start conversion. The current
conversion region is indicated by the cursor position and a purple background
color. When the conversion to kanji is startet, at first the cursor position is
at the left of the preedit and the conversion region is わたしの. I can then move
the conversion region right with arrow-right and see that it moves because the
blue background and the cursor position moves.
Then I do the same in Google Documents (both in firefox and google-chrome, that
makes no difference):
- The cursor position is *always* shown at the right end of the preedit
- The purple background color of the conversion region is not there
One can move the conversion region around using the arrow keys, one just cannot
see where the conversion region currently is the purple background is missing
*and* the cursor position is *always* at the right end of the preedit.
The same problem happens when trying to use ibus-typing-booster with the
"inline completion" option in Google Documents. The color of the inline
completion is missing *and* the cursor position is always at the end of the
preedit, so one cannot see where the inline completion is and whether it has
been accepted or not.
In gedit in wayland, the colors don't work either, but at least the cursor
position is shown correctly. When only the cursor position is shown but no
color, it is  not great at least somewhat usable. By carefully watching the
cursor one can still see what is going on. But when the cursor positon is
always at the right of preedit *and* there is no colour, this is completely
unusable.
