1268815 - The blinking cursor moves to the end of the word when single tapping

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect)

Description

[Ting-Yu Lin [:TYLin] (PST, UTC-7)]

Steps to reproduce on Fennec:
1. Use swift keyboard, and open https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/testforclipboard
2. Single tap in the middle of a word. For example, tap in "ETHERPAD"

Expected results:
The blinking cursor shows in the middle of the word like "ETH|ERPAD"

Actual results:
The blinking cursor moves to the end of the word like "ETHERPAD|"

I cannot reproduce this issue by using built-in Google keyboard.

This is expected, as part of autoSuggest/autoCorrect styling compositions. The caret should always position to the right of the "underline/selection/composition" highlight.

(At one point it would sometimes position in the middle of it, but I think that was a bug we fixed).

See for example Bug 927882 - Standardize TextSelection caret positioning logic for soft keyboards

After the cursor moves to the end of the word the first time, it will be positioned in the middle of the word if I tap the word again.

Mark, thank you for the info. I'll close this.
