(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Camelia Urian]

Build ID: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111104 Firefox/10.0a1 Fennec/10.0a1
Device: Motorola Droid Pro
OS: Android 2.2

Steps:
1. Start Fennec with a clear profile in portrait mode.
2. Go to www.google.com
3. Tap on search field, press ALT key once  and let go of the key
4. Press a key that would give you a number or a special character

Actual results:  Letter appears in text field.
Expected result: Number/special character appears in text field.

5. Press ALT key twice to lock ALT function.
6. Press 2 keys that would give you numbers or a special characters.

Actual results:  Letters appear in text field.
Expected result: Numbers/special characters appear in text field.

Notes:
- I tried Multi-touch  and OpenWnn keyboards, same results on both.
- ALT key works correctly on Android browser.
- SHIFT key works correctly on both Android browser and Fennec
- This could be regression from bug #599811

Looks like a mistake was made when the check for the ALT meta state was implemented the first time.
Tested the fix on Droid Pro and Droid 3 - ALT is working properly now.
