> Thanks. I have no better ideas, so this will have to do. Does anyone > else have any opinions? I have some more explanation. After this commit (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=9e77c1b7bcfd0807be7fe67daf73c2320e864309 ) which introduce input_was_pending, read_char became to redisplay always after processing special event. ``` input_was_pending = input_pending; ``` is a way to prevent redisplay. The same code is placed at end of read_char. Emacs at current emacs-27 branch cannot use isearch with macOS native input method (I checked with macOS Japanese input method and get ``` ns-delete-working-text: Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil ``` ). This is worse situation for macOS native input method users. Even if modifying keyboard.c is not acceptable, I think reverting the position of ``` if (workingText != nil) [self deleteWorkingText]; ``` in insertText should be done. If the patch I sent before is acceptable, I have two patch for improvement. 0001-proper-selection-window-position-for-isearch.patch This is to show candidate window for IM at proper position when isearch. 0001-Remove-unfavorable-deleteWorkingText.patch Currently clicking buffer or focusing out frame delete working text. To prevent deleting working text by such a input. -- tsuucat
