Not sure where this belongs: XUL, menus, and IME are all involved.  CC'ing Masayuki because he's worked on IME bugs in the past.

About search suggestions, I already fixed this in bug 454531, bug 720659 and some platform specific issues in the widget module. If this is still reproducible with Win10/11, please file a new bug (All Microsoft IMEs are recreated after Win8, therefore, I think that this is not reproducible anymore in the most environment).

(If the Chinese IME shows the window without composition, I think that it's impossible to fix this bug because it requires to disable autocomplete in most time.)
