Touch screen keyboard issue with accented characters #64

Closed kosszarva closed 2 years ago

kosszarva commented 2 years ago

Dear Salamek, We have run into a bug when we tried to type with virtual keyboard. The accented characters are not working well (for example "ő", "ű"), they are hidden behind the normal characters during typing. Probably it is a sizing issue. Thank you for your hard work and for this great package. Have a nice day, Levente

Hi, what type of backend are you using? new qiosk or normal chromium? (qiosk uses QT virtual keyboard while chromium version uses ~ugly JS extension)

Also screenshots or video would help...

kosszarva commented 2 years ago

@kosszarva ok, that video helps a lot, can i ask what OS are you using (Name/Version)?

kosszarva commented 2 years ago

Debian 11 tiny 64bit with updates.

Salamek commented 2 years ago

Ok, this is caused by "hack" that attempts to fix virtual keyboard on QT <=5.15.3 to not overlay whole screen when displayed...

So i have added a condition to qiosk to do not apply this hack when QT is 5.15.4>= and that fixes it when using newer QT, issue is that Debian stable (11) have only 5.15.3 in repository, so to get newer fixed version of QT you have to migrate your Debian installation to Debian testing: https://www.makeuseof.com/switch-from-debian-stable-to-testing/

Hmm looks like it is broken on 5.15.4 too... hmm i think i will need to migrate to QT6... god..
