1031552 - [Flame Nightly v2.1] [Keyboard] - Keyboard turns on uppercase after every letter typed.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1036075

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Keyboard, defect)

Description

[Ralph Daub [:rdaub]]

ENVIRONMENT:
Device: Flame
Version: 2.1.0.0-prerelease
Build ID: 20140627040205

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Write SMS messages using the shift key to mark uppercase for the first letter of some words.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
After tapping on the shift key, the following letter should be uppercase, and after that go back to lowercase - unless the shift key is tapped twice for CAPS LOCK.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
1. I tap the shift key so that the first letter of the word is uppercase. 
2. After typing on the letter, the shift key remains active. 
3. I tap on the shift key to deactivate it so that the next letter is lower case.
4. I tap on the next letter.
5. The shift key activates itself again.
6. I tap on the shift key to deactivate it so that the next letter is lower case.
7. I tap on the next letter.
8. The shift key activates itself again.
9. If I keep typing, "THE SHIFT KEY REMAINS ACTIVE AND ALL LETTERS ARE UPPERCASE".

This behavior remains until I send the text. After that, the shift key goes back to working as expected and remains turned off if I manually turn it off.

I have not been able to find the exact steps to make the keyboard/SMS app go into this bugged state. However, it happens multiple times a day.

The general steps is writing an SMS, then tapping in the middle of the draft to edit the text, tap on the shift key, add words. I encounter this bug multiple times in the day when typing long messages (150+ characters).

Please let me know if there is any information I could provide to help with the investigation and troubleshooting of this issue.

Thanks,
- Ralph

I am also experiencing this issue on version 2.0 nightly on the Flame device. 

It usually happens after typing around 150-200 characters on the SMS application, while moving the cursor around, and changing between upper/lower case a few times. At least on my device, it reproduces the majority of the time under this scenario.

Thanks,

Unable to reproduce the issue following the STR from Comment 0. However, was able to reproduce behavior with below STR:

1) Update a Flame to 20140708160204
2) Tap Messages App and New Message (pencil icon) 
3) Enter a recipient number in To: field and tap in Message field
4) Enter letter, tap once on shift key
5) Tap any string of letters (more than one)

Actual:
All letters are uppercase.

Expected:
Only first letter of string is upper case with remainder being lower case.

Repro frequency 6/6, 100%

Hi Rudy,

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, since I encounter this bug even when I don't tap on a "word suggestion".

Having said that, I will keep testing for this issue once a patch has been submitted to bug 1036075 - hopefully it will also resolve this bug.

Thanks!! =)
