This one is also reproducible on yesterday's Linux build. Shirley, please
try it. If you can confirm it, reassign it to tajima. thanks.

The problem is because input module is not get correct caret position from 
layout module. This turned out to be a cross-platform issue. On windows, 
candidate window was positioned using caret as well, and problem can be 
seen from there.
