Description Ryan Abel (reporter) maemo.org

2008-05-19 18:15:20 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
3.2008.19-3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1. Activate finger keyboard in a form field or the URL bar.
2. Enter some text (or not).
3. Press the finger-keyboard return key.
4. Rather than having the form or URL submitted, the finger keyboard is simply
closed (and the URL drop-down menu is opened in the case of the URL bar)

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Form or URL is submitted when finger-keyboard return key is pressed.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Finger keyboard is just closed, and form or URL is not submitted.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always

OTHER COMMENTS:
This is a regression from Chinook where the browser was better than most other
applications with finger-keyboard behavior. Now the browser's finger-keyboard
behavior is broken and the rest of the OS is much better.

This and bug #2405 REALLY hamper an N800 user's ability to use the browser.

Hi Ryan,

> SOFTWARE VERSION: 3.2008.19-3

is this still an issue with an up-to-date software version? There have been
several fixes with regard to the virtual keyboard in the last weeks.

23-14 is still broken. I will let you know when it's fixed. ;)

No, waiting for bugs to magically vanish is not part of the job! ;-)

Could not find any similar internal ticket, so I've forwarded this. Thanks!

Just to clarify, the summary is not correct now. This is a _finger_ keyboard
issue, not a _virtual_ keyboard issue.

Whoops, sorry. Correcting.

Reverting summary back to original, correct, version.

According to the internal ticket this issue does not happen anymore in
4.2008.25-1, hence closing. Please reopen if you can still reproduce with the
mentioned software version or a later release.

Comment 8 Andre Klapper maemo.org

Internal ticket has been reopened and confirmed.

Any word on this one? Between bug #2405 and this, I'm rather baffled that
OS2008 was allowed to ship with such major usability issues for N800 owners.

This bug can't be reproduced in Fremantle.

Sorry but I can't confirm whether the fix will be released for Diablo...
