583327 - Applying Upper case characters requires holding down the Shift button in web content

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

probably a regression.   In today's nightly build, entering in upper case characters in a textbox requires holding the Shift button down and hitting a letter.   

Previously, i could just hit and release the shift button, and then hit the character of choice to capitalize.

Repro:
1) install nightly fennec trunk 20100730 on the n900
2) visit a site with a textbox (eg. bugzilla)
3) type in something and capitalize 
4) Verify you need to hold the shift key+character to capitalize.  

Expected:
- Hit and release the shift key, then the next character is capitalized (this works with awesomebar)

Actual:
- Shift+key to capitalize together.

I see this too, I noticed it when typing numbers, which now requires that you hold down the modifier key (or whatever it's called) on an N900 while hitting the number key for numbers to appear instead of the letters from the same keys...

I'm pretty sure this regressed in the last 2 or 3 days.

Bug 582769 landed within that range. All it does is disable the predictive dictionaries. But it is in the IME code.

fwiw, a local gtk build from today didn't exhibit the problem jst and tchung are seeing.  I am using the fremantle sdk.

Are you both getting the builds from the nightly channel?

still reproduces for me, trying to enter in something in the search text box on bugzilla.mozilla.org

I grabbed the 20100803 build directly from : ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-maemo5-gtk/

aakash, does this happen on android too?

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

I don't have an android device with a hard keyboard to verify. Martijn, can you check this with your Droid?

Still a problem on my Epic

It has been a bug on Android, but on Maemo it's a regression. Weird because Bug 591047 fixes this bug for me when I tested with azakai's N900, before I left.

Just tested on N900. In web content:
* press shift twice, press letter, press letter -> two capital letters
* press shift and hold, press letter -> capital letter
* press shift, press letter -> lowercase letter

I tested a tryserver build given to me by Jim:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-ede4fa272057/tryserver-maemo5-gtk/

These all work in the tryserver build:
* press shift twice, press letter, press letter -> two capital letters
* press shift and hold, press letter -> capital letter
* press shift, press letter -> captial letter
