Using the Hardware Keyboard, I am still seeing this issue on both Maemo and Android.

This doesn't occur on the Virtual Keyboard nor in the default web browser.  Should I reopen this bug or open a new bug?

This bug should not have been closed.  Comment 1 was noting that this was a regression of a previously-fixed bug, not that it has been fixed again.  Reopening.

these sound like dups of each other -- probably a core problem and something that isn't platform specific.

Comment 6

[Mike Kristoffersen (:MikeK)]

This is probably a different problem on the Maemo and the Android platforms

[Mike Kristoffersen (:MikeK)]

Brian, I don't seem to be able to reproduce this on trunk or in the latest beta, can you verify?

FWIW, this is WORKSFORME too, in latest fennec nightly installed from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/repos/trunk_en-US/trunk_en-US_nightly.install

Hmm... this seems to be a QT problem, not a GTK problem, which is the platform I tested on - do we have some way to set if the bug is Maemo/GTK or Maemo/QT ?

Anyway - it fails on trunk QT builds (where you need to hold down the shift key to get a capital letter)

Seems fine on GTK builds

timeless, how do implementers usually handle this "latched" shift-key feature in Qt code?  Is there an approved technique?  Do we have to manually track the state?

from memory on our side we ran into headaches with this :)
