Build Identifier: 3.7.0 I20110426-2000 Running the orion editor inside an swt.Browser widget on Mac and Unix causes some odd results. The editor does work fine in an swt.Browser widget on Windows. On Mac using windows toolkit the insertion i-beam is invisible, returns inserts a blank line and up arrow inserts the hollow square character. On a recent version of wtk-gtk we see the same behaviour as the Mac except for the arrow key problem. On a recent version of Motiff on Linux everything works as well as on Windows. I see these results when running the org.eclipse.e4.examples.webintegration.orion.editor.plugin which you can find in dev.eclipse.org/cvsroot/eclipse/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/examples Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 196169 [details] patch one line patch for org.eclipse.e4.examples.webintegration.orion.editor.plugin; Dean, apply this patch to your project. It fixes a problem that causes your browser function to get unregistered when the editor iframe is created. This fixes the problem of the invisible caret. Other problem you can see on Linux (and Mac) is that when you enter two new lines and hit backspace once both new lines are deleted. This is caused by a bug in the model, get a new version of model.js to fix this problem. Done that you should have Linux working. As for the Mac, there is still the problem of square glyph when arrow keys are pressed, two lines inserted for one enter key stroke, etc. We are still working on that one.
Fixed in HEAD http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=c0bd850b962d09772070edf6f23172829896e03c We added code to editor.js to stop processing mac function keys.
