Package: ibus
Version: 1.5.14-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed ibus-libpinyin to enable pinyin input.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1. Restart GNOME session and computer
2. Fiddle with settings through ibus-setup
3. Installed ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3
* What was the outcome of this action?
The ibus candidate window still appears at the bottom instead of near the input
field itself.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Candidate window appearing just slightly below input field like in this picture

I found two askubuntu posts detailing the same thing with no working solutions.
