SOFTWARE VERSION: 1.2009.42-11.002 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 1. Enable FN Lock (pressing 2x FN, blue arrow). 2. Press Sym (Ctrl, HW keyboard) and choose a symbol (virtual keyboard). 3. Press any letter-key on the HW keyboard. EXPECTED OUTCOME: FN lock is enabled until you disable it. eg. you can type 2²+4=2³ (or any other combination of symbols and FN+letter combination) without repressing FN again. ACTUAL OUTCOME: FN Lock is disabled after a symbol(with the virtual keyboard) is inserted. the same example from above would look like: 2²sr,w (should be 2²+4=2³) REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: I tested it with xterm and the notes application. My device has a qwerty keyboard (configured as English, Netherlands in the Text input settings). I guess this behavior could be because of symbols like ^, ~ and ", which could be combined to a letter like â, ã or ä. But I think it still shouldn't disable the FN Lock.
Thanks for reporting this, confirming also in 2.2009.51-1. Shift lock is also reset.
This has been fixed in package hildon-input-method-framework 1:2.1.47-1+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 10.2010.05-4 (Note: 2009/2010 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
