The candidate window of some third-party Chinese input methods does not appear when using them.

The input method candidate box, often called the "candidate window" or "prediction panel," is the pop-up list that appears when you type using an input method like Pinyin for Chinese. As you type phonetic letters (e.g., "ni hao"), this box shows a list of possible character or word matches (like 你好, 你号, etc.).

It's an essential part of predictive text input, helping users convert typed sounds into the correct written characters or words efficiently.
