Glide doesn't work with input fields which are raw (e.g. Scarlett Notes check box) #1247
Comments
Is this issue still reproducible in the latest 0.3.15-rc01 release? |
Perhaps related to #1009. I can confirm that one is still not fixed in 0.3.15-rc01, and as I was curious, I tried checkboxes in Scarlet Notes and ascertained that it's not fixed there either. |
Indeed. Just tried it out. Not fixed. |
Can still reproduce this issue in 0.3.16-beta02. The reason: Scarlet Notes has configured the check box text box incorrectly:
This line is really important:
What I generally think though is that FlorisBoard's glide typing should still be able to provide words in a degraded form (with no context of surrounding words), as Gboard does it too. Will work on fixing this. |
Above linked commit/PR fixes the issue. What I did is I changed the way I detect rich editors a bit, so the check box field (and other apps that have this exact same bug) is now detected as "rich" and glide typing works. Additionally for "real" raw editors (e.g. Termux) glide typing is now completely disabled, this means no glide trail that does nothing anymore. I cannot reliably provide a good glide typing experience for such terminal apps, because I am just missing too much info about surrounding symbols and text. See also #1009, which is basically the same bug. Will be released in 0.3.16-beta03. Thanks for reporting! |
Awesome! It's great that you were able to add this kind of fault resistance to the app. BTW:
The app is sadly unmaintained, and has been for years. |
Short description
Glide typing works normally in an app I use (Scarlet Notes from F-Droid), but when I create a check box and try to swipe type a list item, it doesn't work. A trail appears, but no word does.
