• VSCode Version: 1.21.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.13.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Google Japanese Input https://www.google.co.jp/intl/ja/ime/
2. Activate it
3. Open a new VSCode instance
4. Type konnnichiha on keyboard, then hit enter, and do it again a few times
5. Expected: the suggestions should never overlap w/ text. Actual: the suggestions overlap w/ text.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Notes:

This is not an issue with the default Japanese IME that comes w/ macOS.

@jrieken The suggestion box that shows up in this case is not the one for suggestWidget. This seems like a native control which I dont believe VS Code controls

@chibicode @yamotty @mashriq @CM-Kajiwara Is this a regression? Did this work as expected in earlier versions of VS Code and stopped working recently?

[rebornix]

I think it is probably caused by the position adjustment of the textarea, Google IME tries to put the candidate list at the proper position, but I don't have a stable reproduce yet.

Sorry, I am a new user to VSCode so not sure if this is a regression.
