When you use SAS® Enterprise Guide® 8.6 Update3 on Windows Server systems, the IME composition window always appeared in the top left of the SAS Enterprise Guide 8.6 window (on Windows Server machines), regardless of the user's language or preference. There was no option to change this behavior.
This issue does not occur on Windows client machines. Users can enter text directly into the editor without any problems. However, on Windows Server machines, the IME behavior is different.
There was a previous fix implemented specifically for Windows Server environments to address the IME pop-up issue. This fix causes the IME composition window to appear in the top left of the application window regardless of the language being used.

This file is located in the root installation directory of SAS Enterprise Guide (the default path is C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\8\).

<appSettings>
<add key="UseDefaultIMEPosition" value="false"/>
</appSettings>
