Thanks for testing.  Precisely how often does the problem occur?  I
tried typing continuously for 2 minutes, but didn't see anything after
the fix.

About 5 words will trigger the issue.

May be it is caused by my Fcitx5 configuration. I will try to dig more
infomations.

Could you please try master now, and see if the problem persists?

bug#53160: 29.0.50; fcitx5 will freeze Emacs with pre-edited text enabled

[Eason Huang]

With latest version of Emacs 29.0.50, @Po Lu implement a nice feature to
support showing pre-edited text of Fcitx5(A Chinese input method).

But when I enable this new feature, Fcitx5 will freeze Emacs sometimes.
Fcitx5 works well on gedit.

Can anyone help to fixed this issue?

Thanks.  Some important questions:

  - Does this still happen under emacs -Q?  (You can set manually
    `x-gtk-use-native-input' to t there for testing.)

  - Could this perhaps be related to GC?

 Thanks for reminding.

I test it again with (setq garbage-collection-messages t), but I didn't
see any messages about GC when the issues occured.

Odd... do the issues still happen under emacs -Q?

Yes, the issues still happen under emacs -Q.

Please see if the problem has been resolved on master.  Thanks.

Eason said that the problem was resolved by changing the font used by
the fcitx pre-edit popup, so I'm closing this report, since it's a
problem with fcitx and not Emacs.
