Search box collapses mozc keyboard dictionary

[empathicqubit]

Describe the bug
When typing Japanese with mozc keyboard, the suggestions vanish. This makes the keyboard unusable as Kanji can't be typed.

To Reproduce

1. Install mozc
2. Search for a song such as 新世界 by bump of chicken (しんせかい　phonetically)
3. The text remains underlined as if it's still in input mode, but the dictionary slides off the screen after each keypress.

Expected behavior
The dictionary stays visible so the Kanji can be selected.

Actual

Expected

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• TeraCube 2e with eOS 1.20 (Android 12 variant)
• Mucke version 1.5.1

Additional context
I started using mucke when I was looking for a replacement to MaxFour Music, because it was really old and playlists were broken. Love this project! ❤

Can you try with other keyboards please. This might be a bug in mozc since suggestions are enabled by default for textboxes and I looked at the code and there seems nothing disabling it.

[empathicqubit]

Which other keyboard should I try? I don't know any other open source ones for Japanese

[FriederHannenheim]

It doesn't need to be a Japanese keyboard. Just check if it has suggestions and if they appear when you're using the search box

[empathicqubit]

Okay that makes sense. AOSP keyboard shows suggestions for English and German.

[empathicqubit]

One thing that's different with the Japanese keyboard is that pressing enter deselects the current suggestion context, while the other keyboards follow the word near the cursor. Not sure if that could be causing an issue.

[FriederHannenheim]

I don't know how the Japanese keyboard works so I can't help you. I'm pretty sure the issue is not in Mucke. You can maybe try looking in the keyboard settings if you can find a toggle to always show suggestions or something like that

[empathicqubit]

Do you want me to submit a PR to fix it? It works fine in other apps as I demonstrated. With Japanese it doesn't make sense to always show suggestions.
