Any operation that affects the text between the start of the relevant text (this is the start in a
text-input-pane
, and the highlighted area in an
editor-pane
) and the current cursor causes the in-place window to recompute the possible completions and display the new list. These operations include not only actual changes to the text, but also cursor movement.
In an
editor-pane
, if the insertion point moves out of the highlighted area then the in-place window goes away.
If the input pane loses the focus, the in-place window goes away, except on Motif.
