TextInput bug

[mstetter]

Hi, there is a bug in the TextInput. On Android devices when deleting a character it adds the remainings to the text.

eg. when deleting 't' from 'test' it shows 'testtes'. This only happens when the TextInput is still focused. When unfocusing and deleting again nothing happens. I think this is really a serious bug.

@mstetter are you using 1.9.0?

[WarDrummer]

I wonder if this is related to #3184, which does happen in 1.9.0.

[KeyWeeUsr]

I'd say it's more similar to #2418. Don't know if it's fixed.

[mstetter]

@dessant i am using the kivy == master in buildozer, so it is always up to date. It is the same in 1.8 and 1.9 did one of you experience the same issue? I think it could be the same type of problem as #2418
But especially in long text inputs this is a serious problem.

[mstetter]

one more thing to narrow this down. It only happens in the same line. in a multiline textinput it only adds what is before in that same line. so even the 'enter' key stops that behaviour

Have you tested multiple devices? What brand of device, Android version,
keyboard app, etc. have you seen this issue on?

I'm using the standard samsung keyboard without swipe, but with predictive text

[akshayaurora]

It would help if you could let us know about the keyboard being used on samsung, can the keyboard be installed by other devices or is it only available on samsung devices? We would need to test with the mentioned keyboard to make sure we can fix the issue.

[dessant]

I was able to reproduce this on a galaxy tab s with 4.4.2. The stock keyboard was used with predictive text turned on, the issue is not there if text prediction is disabled.

Steps to reproduce: open the showcase and go to the textinputs screen, type 'wwwwww' in the currently focused textinput, press the delete button once and if the bug is not triggered, press again.

[mstetter]

The Samsung Keyboard is the problem. I downloaded the google keyboard and it works. I could find the samsung keyboard as download though

[KeyWeeUsr]

I don't think it's only samsung keyboard issue. I had the same or at least similar issue on already dead tablet with android 2.3.3 default keyboard.

[dessant]

@KeyWeeUsr at least similar is not enough info, please test if you can reproduce this exact issue with master and mention your device model.

[dessant]

@akshayaurora i cannot reproduce it with hacker's keyboard (prediction enabled) on the same device.

[dessant]

@mstetter what's your keyboard version? Mine is 4.0.

[mstetter]

How can i find out the keyboard version for the samsung default keyboard?

[dessant]

@mstetter Settings->Applications->All->Samsung Keyboard

[mstetter]

Thanks, mine is also 4.0.

[AndersHogqvist]

I have this problem on my LG G2 (4.4.2) as well, but not only in Kivy but in Chrome as well. Makes me wonder if it may be a generall Android issue?

[mstetter]

I can also confirm this issue with the google handwriting keyboard 1.0.

[dessant]

This seems to be an upstream bug reproducible with other Android apps too, upgrading to L and above fixes the issue.

[ErickBergmann]

Reproduced it with Google Keyboard V. 4.1.23 on my MotoMaxx(MotoTurbo) device running Android 5.0.2 with prediction turned on.
Turning off prediction solved it.
