Description Jiro Matsuzawa 2010-12-01 12:29:31 UTC 
I suggest adding the feature of controlling the place of a keyboard window to Caribou.
Users cannot move the window of Caribou when it hides the target application window with overlapping. If users can control the place of Caribou in some way, that improves usability of Caribou. The ways to control it would be to provide buttons to move the keyboard to different locations on the screen, e.g. top-centre and bottom-centre, or to the corners of the screen or to allow a drag of Carbibou. But I am not sure about what way is the best to realize it or to configure a window-placement-policy.
Please advise on this feature.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/caribou/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
