Bug summary
After activating the macOS Input Method (IME) inside a Doom Emacs
session running on neomacs, the rendered cursor stops tracking the
actual point correctly during evil-mode normal-state navigation
(e.g. j/k/w/b). The visual cursor and the real editing
position become desynced. This coincides with the following message
in the terminal/console:
error messaging the mach port for IMKCFRunLoopWakeUpReliable
It's not yet confirmed whether this IMK message is the root cause or
just an unrelated/benign log line that happens to correlate with IME
activation.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch
neomacs in GUI mode (not -nw) with a Doom Emacs
configuration (default :editor evil module enabled).
- Open a regular file buffer and enter evil normal state.
- Activate the macOS input method (IME, Squirrel)
- Move the cursor with ordinary evil motions (
j/k/w/b, etc.).
- Observed
Expected behavior
The rendered cursor should track point exactly during evil-mode
navigation, matching GNU Emacs's behavior, regardless of whether an
IME was activated earlier in the session.
Runtime diagnostics
- neomacs commit: d4e68268fa334130c8efe50addbc48b9008383f0 (2026-08-14)
- neomacs workspace version: 0.0.15
- Doom Emacs revision: ad55ed08df3a1d3398d136d07b60ba2ad00fb91b
- OS: macOS 15.7.3 (Build 24G419), Apple Silicon (arm64)
- Launch mode: GUI (native window, not `-nw`)
