These synchronous calls run without first checking whether the focused element advertises AXLineForIndex, AXRangeForLine, and AXBoundsForRange. Text-marker-based Chrome and WebKit fields can reach this path without supporting those attributes, causing unsupported cross-process AX work on the main focus-resolution path and potentially stalling typing. Gate the lookup with the parameterized-attribute set that the caller already fetched.
Knowledge Base Used: Restore the AX bounds gate and ease focus polling

Already fixed in aee6cae, before this round. All three attributes are now checked via supportsLineGeometry, read from the parameterized-attribute set the caller had already fetched, and the guard lives inside resolveLineContentEdges so a future caller cannot reintroduce the stall. Two tests pin it.

The new defaults do not preserve the previous rendering bounds as claimed. The overlay previously used a 14-point floor and a 24-point ceiling for measured carets, while an unset preference now supplies 11 and 48. Untouched installs can therefore render suggestions substantially smaller or larger than before. Use defaults matching the old bounds, or explicitly treat and document this as a behavior change.
Knowledge Base Used: Settings experience and persistence
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Correct, and the PR description was wrong — I have fixed the description rather than the code. main used a 14pt floor and a 24pt ceiling; the defaults here are 11 and 48, so untouched installs do change. Both changes are deliberate: the 24pt ceiling was reachable by ordinary documents (Academy Engraved at 20pt and 120% zoom computes 23.66, and anything larger clamped silently, which is the undersized ghost text this PR set out to fix), and the 14pt floor forced ghost text larger than the surrounding body text in hosts that render at 11-12pt. Reverting either would reintroduce a bug. What was wrong was claiming the defaults preserved previous behaviour.

Font registration completes asynchronously but does not trigger a redraw. A non-streaming or already-complete suggestion can be presented once and remain in the system fallback font after registration succeeds, only adopting the host font after an unrelated later presentation. Refresh the current inline overlay when registration succeeds, after confirming it still represents the same visible suggestion.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Valid — fixed in ad3d1e4. You are right that "the next render picks it up" only holds while something else is still causing renders; a suggestion that arrives complete is drawn once in the fallback font and stays there. Registration now re-shows the visible inline suggestion on success. It is guarded on the state still being inline, the geometry still naming the same font, and the font actually being resolvable, so a registration that reports success without producing a usable font cannot cause a redraw loop.

@rp3099, the two referenced fixes address separate findings.
This finding remains open. used_host_content_edge currently indicates that geometryObservedContentEdges exists. It does not indicate that GhostSuggestionLayout selected that edge for the rendered layout.
You are interacting with an AI system.
Ghost text in Microsoft Word rendered in the wrong typeface, at the wrong
size, and outside the document's text margin, and the activation indicator
sat halfway down an empty page. Each symptom had a distinct cause, and all
of them trace to two wrong assumptions: that a field's `AXFrame` is its
text area, and that a host's reported font describes its real text.
Typeface: Word publishes a placeholder in the one key `resolveFieldStyle`
read, while reporting the truth beside it:
AXFont = {AXFontFamily: Aptos, AXFontName: Helvetica, AXFontSize: 12, ...}
`AXHelper.faceName(fromAXFontDictionary:)` prefers the specific face when
it belongs to the reported family and falls back to the family when the two
contradict each other, so honest hosts keep their PostScript name and its
weight. The placeholder resolves through `NSFont(name:)` perfectly well, so
that contradiction is the only available signal.
Word's Aptos is then unloadable anyway: it ships inside the app bundle and
is installed nowhere on the system. `HostFontRegistry` registers the single
matching face from the host's own bundle at `.process` scope, so nothing is
installed for the user, indexing metadata once per host off the main thread
rather than bulk-loading a 280-file directory.
Size: with the right typeface the caret's glyph box maps onto a rendered
point size directly, and it already carries the host's zoom. Two bugs
blocked that. `GhostFontSizeStabilizer` floored caret height to the session
minimum on the premise that "the real line height does not grow" — false
when the user changes font size or zoom without changing fields, so raising
Word to 20pt kept a caret pinned at 17pt. The clamp now applies only to
imprecise readings, which is the flicker it was built for. The 24pt ceiling
was also reachable by ordinary documents and is now a user setting.
Margins and placement: Word publishes the whole page as one `AXTextArea`,
so wrapped ghost text started an inch left of the margin and the activation
indicator centred on the page rather than the caret line. Overflow lines now
align to content edges measured from the host's own line geometry (cached
per focus session, off the keystroke path), and the indicator anchors
vertically to the caret. Panel placement uses the rendered line height
instead of a `fontSize * 1.25` estimate that disagreed with SwiftUI's actual
`fittingSize`.
Also removes the artificial 6pt gap before inline ghost text, which
double-counted against the suggestion's own leading space and broke
mid-word continuations outright.
New settings (Appearance): "Smallest Ghost Text" and "Largest Ghost Text",
defaulting to the previously hard-coded 11pt and 48pt so an untouched
install is unchanged. The overlay also logs how font, size, and placement
were resolved, which is what made these causes findable at all.

Valid, and the gate is now in I verified the concern rather than taking it on faith, and it's worse than described. Three compounding facts:
Fixed by gating on all three attributes, read from the parameterized-attribute set the caller had already fetched, so the check costs no extra round trip: supportsLineGeometry: Self.lineGeometryAttributes
.allSatisfy(supportedParameterizedAttributes.contains)The guard is inside Thanks — this is precisely the kind of thing the Branch 1 gate above already existed for, and I should have followed that precedent when I added the method. |

Six findings from the Greptile and CodeRabbit review, each verified against the code before acting on it. The size floor and ceiling are user-facing settings, so they have to be absolute. `ghostTextSizeMultiplier` was applied after the clamp, letting 1.3x render above the stated ceiling and 0.7x below the stated floor. Now the multiplier scales the caret-derived size and the clamp comes last. An earlier revision scaled last on purpose, so the knob still moved text in a field pinned to a rail; that reasoning predates the rails being settable, and someone who wants smaller text can lower the floor itself. The two bounds are separate UserDefaults keys written one at a time, so a crash between the writes can persist floor > ceiling. `load()` now repairs an inverted pair rather than handing `GhostFontMetrics` a range whose ceiling silently wins. Line-margin lookup, three narrowings: - Skip it entirely when the selection came from a text marker. Those offsets are window-relative, so `AXLineForIndex` would resolve a different visual line and report a margin from the wrong place. Same condition Branch 1 already applies to `AXBoundsForRange`. - Key the cache by paragraph as well as focus session. The measured edge belongs to one visual line, and moving between an indented block, a list item or a table cell changes the margin without changing `focusChangeSequence`, which only turns over when the field's frame does. Counting newlines before the caret is a local scan, so this costs no AX round trip. - Reject a degenerate converted rect. `validatedCocoaTextRect` returns `.zero` for a non-finite AX rect, and with no anchor frame to test against that published an edge at the screen origin. Finally, the placement log's dedup key included the panel's origin, which follows the caret in the inline path — so the line it claimed to emit once per change was emitting on nearly every keystroke.

`layoutRepairedAnchor` skips its layout repair for a web field whose caret is `.derived` and whose content edges exist, on the grounds that child text-run frames carry the host's real line positions. Content edges can now also come from the host's line-query attributes, which describe a left margin but say nothing about which visual line the caret is on — so a wrong-line web caret could skip the repair that exists to correct it. `ObservedContentEdges` now records whether it was run-measured, and only that provenance buys the skip. It defaults to false so a future source has to opt in deliberately rather than inherit an exemption it did not earn. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Font registration is asynchronous, and nothing triggered a redraw when it completed. "The next render picks it up" only holds while something else is still causing renders: a suggestion that arrives complete, with no streaming and no further keystrokes, is drawn once in the fallback font and stays there until an unrelated later suggestion happens to redraw it. Re-showing is cheap and idempotent — `showInline` recomputes from the same text and geometry, and the fade is owned by `showSuggestion`, so nothing re-animates. Guarded on the font being resolvable now, so a registration that reports success but leaves the name unusable cannot loop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not derive the paragraph key from the bounded text window.
For native selections, textValue can be the bounded window returned by nativeTextWindow, while selection.location is document-relative. When the caret is beyond that window, the min(..., paragraphSource.length) expression counts every newline in the window, including text after the caret. Different document paragraphs can then share a cache key and reuse the wrong content edge. Wrapped ghost text can use another paragraph’s margin.
Carry the window’s document origin or full document text, or use a document-relative line key before caching.

Summary
Ghost text in Microsoft Word rendered in the wrong typeface, at the wrong size, and outside the document's text margin, and the activation indicator sat halfway down an empty page. The underlying reason in every case is that a host's
AXFrameis not its text area and a host's reported font is not necessarily its real one — Word publishes the whole page as a singleAXTextAreaand reports a fixedHelvetica 12placeholder regardless of how the document is actually formatted.The fixes are host-agnostic rather than Word-specific: read the font attribute that is actually trustworthy, load faces that hosts bundle privately, size from the caret's own glyph box (which already carries zoom), and align wrapped lines to measured content edges instead of the field frame.
Key detail for reviewers: Word's placeholder resolves through

Greptile Summary
The PR improves ghost-text fidelity by resolving host fonts and caret-derived sizing, measuring actual text margins, and positioning the activation indicator relative to the caret. The latest revision fixes the remaining asynchronous font-registration issue by redrawing a still-visible inline suggestion once its host font becomes available.
Confidence Score: 5/5
The PR appears safe to merge; the previously reported capability-gating and asynchronous font-refresh defects are fixed, and no actionable new regression was established.
The current code gates all three synchronous line-geometry Accessibility calls on the host’s advertised parameterized attributes, keys measured margins by paragraph, clamps the final scaled font size to the configured limits, and redraws only a currently visible matching inline suggestion after font registration. rp3099 explicitly accepted the deliberate 11–48 point default-range behavior and corrected the PR description that had inaccurately described it as preserving prior defaults. The remaining previous threads were fixed, correctly disputed as absent from the current PR, or resolved with explanatory replies.
