TextInput Bug ( a -> l , 1 -> 9 , q -> o , z -> . etc ) #7627

psalm505 · 2021-09-20T02:49:09Z

* Python: 3.9.7

OS: Linux Fedra34
Kivy: 2.0.0

Next code can't receive correct character at all.
if you input 'a' , it receives 'l' ( small L ).
'1' then '9'
'q' then 'o'
etc.

How can I fix this?

from kivy.app			import App
from kivy.uix.textinput	import TextInput

class KivyApp(App):
	def build(self):
		return( TextInput() )

KivyApp().run()

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Thank you Polygun.
I ran your code and I input 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 'g' in this order.

First screenshot is just after run your script,
and second screenshot is just after input these seven characters ( abcdefg ).

And I also copy and paste its log.
It seems that I can only input 'b' 'c' 'g' correctly, and these characters
are shown up on both screen and log message.

FYI: all of other applications on this PC works fine in terms of keyboad input.

I hope this answered your question.

a is not even in the on_key_press ? that is weird
how did u install kivy ? pip or from master ?
did u try reinstalling ?
and your using qwerty layout ? or something else (im not sure it affects anything but just asking)

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T02:51:53Z

Thank you Polygun.

I installed kivy by using pip3. ( # pip3 install kivy )
I also tried reinstalling kivy and found that the phenomena is the same.

I am using standard qwerty keyboad and there is no such problems on
all other programs including (linux) GUI x-teminal and (linux) CLI console.

( I attached its screenshot. ) I suspect this is caused by kivy layer.

p0lygun · 2021-09-21T03:48:10Z

ok, can you please also provide Screenshot and logs for this too :)

Thank you Polygun.
I appreciate your concern.

I ran your new code and I input 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 'g' in this order again.

First screenshot is just after run your script,
and second screenshot is just after input these seven characters ( 'abcdefg' ).
And I also copy and paste its log.

I hope this answered your question.

are you in the discord server ? https://chat.kivy.org/

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T04:36:34Z

No, I am not.
But I created my account just now. ( psalm404 ).

tshirtman · 2021-09-21T10:28:35Z

can you check in your ~/.kivy/config.ini (or typing f1 in the kivy app) if you have a different keymap set from what you expect?

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T11:04:54Z

Thank you tshirtman!
I appreciate your concerns!

I checked "~/.kivy/config.ini" following your advice,
and found that it is normal in terms of keyboad settings.

( I attached screenshot of it. )

All of other appication including Python3 can handle keyboad
input correctly so far... ( I am writing this text on the same computer. )

misl6 · 2021-09-21T11:18:31Z

@Psalm404 Can you please check the SDL version that are you using?

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T11:20:46Z

Thank you misl6.
I appreciate your message and concerns.

I will check it now...

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T11:27:25Z

I checked it and found that I am using SDL2-2.0.16-2.fc34.x86_64 on my PC.

I also checked newer packages by OS command ( # dnf update ) just in case,
but it seems that there is no newer packages now for my OS ( Linux Fedora34 X86_64 )
I hope that this answers your questions.

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T11:33:36Z

I might find the cause or work around of this phenomena...
I will report it after some check.

psalm505 · 2021-09-21T12:11:18Z

This is the work aroud that I found so far.

If I bypass Ibus ( Intelligent Input Bus - which is one of Input Method ) keymap, I can input correct characters.
I confirmed and checked it out under this condition by using the script whch p0lygun suggested me.
-> I just input 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 'g' ( seven characters ) in this order.
( I attached this screenshot , log message, and script file. )

But if I re-use or re-enable Ibus keymap, this phenomena shows up again.
I confirmed and checked it out again under this bad condition by using the same script.
-> I also just input same 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 'g' ( seven characters ) in this order.
( I also attached bad screenshot and bad log message )

But all the other programs including Python never affect its settings...
I hope that this can be work around for you...

( Good Screenshot )
