Describe the bug

After updating to Claude Code v2.1.153, when typing Chinese/IME text in CMD (Windows command prompt), the IME candidate window appears at the bottom-right corner of the terminal instead of next to the input caret. This makes typing very uncomfortable.

The changelog mentions a fix: "Fixed the IME candidate window appearing at the bottom of the screen instead of next to the input caret in attached background sessions on Windows" — but this issue happens in the normal interactive session, not just background sessions.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Home China (10.0.26100)
  • Claude Code version: 2.1.153
  • Terminal: CMD (Windows built-in command prompt)
  • Shell: PowerShell
  • Input method: Chinese IME (Windows built-in)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open CMD on Windows 11
  2. Launch Claude Code (claude)
  3. Switch to a Chinese IME
  4. Start typing — the IME candidate window appears at the bottom-right corner instead of near the cursor

Expected behavior

IME candidate window should appear directly above/next to the input caret (cursor position).

Actual behavior

IME candidate window appears at the bottom-right corner of the terminal window.

Additional context

This may be a regression or the previous fix (for background sessions) needs to be extended to cover normal interactive mode as well.
