Description Mark Macdonald

2012-07-25 17:47:06 EDT

OS: Android 4.1
Browser: Chrome 18 mobile

Basic steps are:
1. Go to http://orion.eclipse.org/
2. Open a Javascript file in the editor
3. Start editing different lines

Problems I encountered:
- Changes to the text model do not take effect until you unfocus the line that you're editing. (For example, keywords are not colored as you type-- you must unfocus the line.)

- Sometimes the Android keyboard's word suggestion panel appears while you're typing. If you accept a suggested word, it inserts garbage into the text model.
For example, I was typing
> xax
and then I saw a suggestion from the Android keyboard for 'xax', which I clicked. That produced:
> xaxâ€Œ

- Similarly, garbage characters are inserted when you insert text at column 0 (and sometimes at the end of a line). For example I added a new line containing
> var x;
and when I viewed the raw file contents I found
> vâ€Œarx;

Silenio tried changing the editor to behave same as iPad and the text input worked great. Basically in its current state none of the input is going into the underlying text buffer at all.

Pushed some changes to fix scrolling and editing.

I am not seeing the garbage characters (different device?). Please try the latest and let me know if it still happens.

These function are still broken for me:

Selection
Copy/Cut and Paste

I am going to mark this fixed because I think the original problem with garbage characters is fixed. I tested with minimal editor example on 2.0 M1 using Android 4.2 on Nexus 7 and it is working fairly well. We should open specific bugs for any remaining issues.
