Description Thorsten Vitt

2011-10-11 07:25:27 EDT

Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

When entering text into input fields of a web form in the the webkit based Browser control, pressing a key causes the corresponding character to appear twice in the input field. This happens as well in Eclipse's internal browser view as in a custom RCP application.

The problem does not occur in password fields, and it does not occur with browsers instantiated with the SWT.MOZILLA style.

The problem seems to be specific for Linux, I observed it on Ubuntu 10.10 installations.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the internal browser view in Eclipse 
2. Go to a web page with input fields, e.g., https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/
3. Enter abc into a text field, it will appear as aabbcc

I don't see this problem, and no one else has reported it, so it seems to be something particular to your setup.

Are you running with the download of just plain eclipse 3.7.1 (no additional apps installed)?  Is there any unusual setup on your machine (eg.- accessibility turned on, etc.)?

Grant Gayed,

I agree with Thorsten Vitt.

This issue is analogous to the issue that I am facing too.
Brief Intro :-
When we use eclipse embedded internal browser and open any html page(having link for PDF file)and then you try to directly “open”(not save) the PDF file and then try to navigate from PDF(by clicking the link for html page from PDF file) to any html page(which is having input text box) causes characters be displayed twice on a single keypress inside the input text box.
i.e 'a' is printed as 'aa' on a single key press.
I am using SWT 4.1.

Is this BUG has been addressed or still in discussion? Is there some work around for this issue available?

Thanks,
Mayank

Just to debug it more, I have added a keyListener to the browser object and noticed that method "public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)" gets called two times and method "public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)" is called up one time. 

Thought that might help.

Grant Gayed,
Are we going have any update on this issue in the coming future release?
Or is it still a topic of further discussion?
