# macOS Pinyin candidate popup survives focus transfer to a dialog #3605

## Description

yeagoo

opened on Oct 19, 2026

Issue body actions

## Summary

On macOS, a native Simplified Chinese Pinyin candidate popup can survive transferring focus from a Kit `Input` to a dialog. The dialog is visible, but the old conversion session can consume the next keyboard command.

## Verified environment

  * macOS 13.6, Apple Silicon
  * Simplified Chinese Pinyin (`com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC`)
  * `gpui-kit`, `gpui-base`, `gpui-component`, `gpui-kit-assets`, `gpui-component-macros`: 0.7.1
  * `gpui-pre`, `gpui-pre-macos`: 0.3.8
  * Rust 1.96.0

Please preserve the full locked matrix: a fresh dependency on only `gpui-kit = &quot;=0.7.1&quot;` can resolve compatible component dependencies to 0.7.2.

## Minimal reproduction

The example uses only Kit and `std`; it does not initialize application services, persistence, or file access. Public source: https://github.com/web-casa/ImgConvert/blob/main/apps/gpui/crates/shell/examples/g2_ime_repro.rs

<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today;   * macOS, Windows or Linux, with a GPU GPUI can draw with (Metal on macOS, DirectX on Windows, Vulkan on Linux).

  * On macOS, building your GPUI app or the runtime from a checkout uses Xcode’s Metal Toolchain (`xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain`), which compiles GPUI’s shaders ahead of time. ...   * On Linux: a Vulkan driver, Wayland or X11 with `libxkbcommon`, GTK 3 and WebKitGTK 4.1 (web views) and GStreamer 1.20 or later with its base and good plug-ins (videos).

  * One element per surface. A surface is one GPUI element that fills the space its parent gives it and paints the whole view tree with GPUI’s primitives: quads, shadows, paths, glyphs and images. NSH keeps one retained view per node, as on Windows, and redraws only when a commit changed something.
  * Text is shaped on the engine thread with GPUI’s text system (the app’s own fonts), broken into lines by NSH; the main thread only paints the glyphs.
  * One hop per commit. The engine runs on its own thread; each commit is one closure sent to GPUI’s main thread, which notifies the view.
  * Input comes from GPUI’s mouse, scroll, key and input method events; hit testing, presses, the responder system, scrolling and text editing are the same logic as the Windows backend’s.

## #Requirements

  * macOS, Windows or Linux, with a GPU GPUI can draw with (Metal on macOS, DirectX on Windows, Vulkan on Linux).

  * On macOS, building your GPUI app or the runtime from a checkout uses Xcode’s Metal Toolchain (`xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain`), which compiles GPUI’s shaders ahead of time. On a Mac without it, `nsh run` builds the runtime with GPUI’s `runtime-shaders` feature and say so: the shaders are compiled when the app starts (a fraction of a second the first time, cached by macOS after that).

  * On Linux: a Vulkan driver, Wayland or X11 with `libxkbcommon`, GTK 3 and WebKitGTK 4.1 (web views) and GStreamer 1.20 or later with its base and good plug-ins (videos). Web views need X11: on a Wayland desktop run the app under Xwayland (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY=` empty), else they show a placeholder. Building the runtime from a checkout also needs the development packages; on Debian and Ubuntu:
    
    `sudo apt-get install clang libclang-dev pkg-config libfontconfig-dev libfreetype-dev libwayland-dev libx11-xcb-dev \
      libxcb1-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libzstd-dev libvulkan1 libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
      libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-good`

Enable runtime shaders in the macOS development workflow.

The macOS devShell does not enable runtime-shaders, and the README runs Cargo without that feature. The macOS build can therefore use Xcode's xcrun metal, which fails when Xcode is not installed.

Document the macOS-specific command or configure the devShell to enable the feature:

Suggested README change 
- cargo run -p buzz-gpui              # the app
+ cargo run -p buzz-gpui              # the app on Linux
+ cargo run -p buzz-gpui --features runtime-shaders # the app on macOS

Review comment at @apps/buzz-gpui/flake.nix at line 186:
Update the macOS development instructions to run Cargo with the runtime-shaders
feature, matching the Darwin-specific feature selection in features' guarded by
isDarwin.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Remote workspace agents need the `buzz-gpui-voltage` package. The flake builds it on Linux and macOS. You need only Nix: the flake supplies every other prerequisite.

To run it once:

```sh
nix run 'github:voltagecloud/buzz/<commit on main>?dir=apps/buzz-gpui#buzz-gpui-voltage'
```

To install it on NixOS or nix-darwin, add the flake input and install the package:

```nix
# flake.nix inputs
buzz-gpui.url = "github:voltagecloud/buzz/<commit on main>?dir=apps/buzz-gpui";

# configuration.nix
# configuration.nix or darwin-configuration.nix
environment.systemPackages = [ buzz-gpui.packages.${system}.buzz-gpui-voltage ];
```

On macOS, the Nix build runs from the terminal, not from an app bundle, so the app does not show system notifications.

Sign in with your Buzz identity and join the `buzz.voltage.cloud` community.
Install the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and sign in with `gh auth login`, so the app can add your signing key to GitHub.
