The popup was a white box on the usually white text it covered, with
no edge to tell them apart; it has a border in the separator's colour.
A syllable being composed came in a bar twelve ems wide, wiping out the
line under it: only candidate rows share that steady width now, a
preedit alone hugs its text. A popup placed by the pointer, when the
client sends no caret, was placed again on every key and so followed
the mouse; it stays where it came up. Clicks on it no longer fall
through to the root window and its menu. And one failed draw — a lost
pointer reply, a pixmap the server refused — ended the draw thread and
the popup for the rest of the session; only a dead connection does now.
