Added affected parties. Seems like there's some cross team efforts
required here. Things I could think of:

* adjusting Qt.inputMethod.rect to be a bit larger if the cursor handle
is painted: maybe a simple fix? Can we try that?

* compositing the cursor from within unity: sounds like a lot of IPC to
keep things in sync and will most likely not cope well with animations.

* Using a different design visual for it? Not really sure about that.
it's already hard enough to select something. Putting it aside or on top
will most likely not be great either.

* Maybe some magic in uitk itself to shift things upwards when the drag-
handle is painted and the OSK is shown.

Bug description:
  Hi,
  as you can see in the attached screenshot (of Telegram app) the handle for text coursor or selector can be hidden beneath keyboard in some cases.

  The possible solutions for this would be either to always show the
  handles above the text so it won't ever have to intersect with the
  keyboard or to somehow put it in the higher level than the actual
  keyboard is, which would be I suppose harder to achieve.

  What do you think? Is there any other solution you can think of?
