376015 - Tapping large text entry boxes will shutdown Minimo.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Minimo Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[George]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.10 (Windows NT 5.0; U; en)
Build Identifier: Minimo 0.2

Text enrty boxes such as the ones found on Forums, usually called "Quick reply boxes" or exactly like the ones being used here for "details". Upon tapping these (or any like them) boxes with a stylus to activate text input, using Minimo 0.2 on the Pocket PC will shutdown the Minimo application instantly.

However for text boxes that are small, such as Google's search box, it will type as it should.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try going to your Forums here or any site that will allow you to put text into a large box on a touch screen device (WM5 PPC).
2. Attempt to tap the large area text entry box so that you may activate the onscreen keyboard.
3. Attempt to type successfully and submit or post the text.
Actual Results:  
Minimo 0.2 will shutdown completely upon tapping the large area text box.

Expected Results:  
For Minimo 0.2 to remain open while I type in text boxes, similar to the ones used here, for example the "Expected Results" box I am typing in now.

There does seem to be an excessive amout of ram being used for this application, though I am not sure if it is contributing to this problem.

minimo component is now closed and the minimo project isn't going to be supported.  New work has started on a new mobile effort.  Please see schrep's posting for more info.  We hope you will be involved.
