Description Roman Polach (reporter) 2010-03-14 13:37:37 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
maemo 3.2010.02-8

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Run Maps, go to searching
2. use a hardware keyboard for next step:
3. press "alt" button, press (any) digit button or e.g. "g"

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
should display a digit or "alternate" character ("_" for "g")

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
there is english letter displayed - like if I haven't "alt" key pressed.
To achieve expected result, I must HOLD the "alt" key while typing digits etc.
This is incompatible behavior with the rest of Maemo.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
no relevant

OTHER COMMENTS:
I am using czech version of N900 - with czech hardware keyboard layout

Hi Roman,
I have tried this in the newer, internal (non-public) version 2010.10-2 and it
works for me. I press ↗, release the key, and then press G. I get a _ in the
Search field.

Hence the next public update will include the fix.

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

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).
