This is really problematic, I am again typing a message to someone and I can't see what I'm typing. To make it worse in Telegram when you press Shit+enter the previous text move up (as opposed to caret moving down), so I never see what I'm typing, this is really a large problem. The separate issue I created is gonna take ages to implement. As explained in the quote, disregarding the "default positioning" (which may be subjective), the OSDs should be positioned by default where notifications are. This I could at least take a stub into implementing myself, hopefully it's not going to be that complicated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
