Backspace/Delete key gets 'jammed'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using RemoteDroid on Ubuntu 10.04 and an HTC Legend.  On the soft keyboard, the 
delete/backspace button will get 'jammed' and delete a who row of text when 
pushed only once.  This doesn't always happen, maybe 50% of the time.

I'm using RemoteDroid on my Galaxy S with swype and the backspace button is 
doing nothing... Can't delete text. The Server is running on Windows 7 64bit.

I havnet seen this in my experience, Ttis could be a network quality issue, 
RemoteDroid uses UDP i believe which can 'loose' packets in low quality 
networks.  If you are closer to your wireless router and still experience the 
problem then it may be a larger issue.  If the problem persists hopefully there 
can be a TCP option for key presses later on, still sending mouse events as UDP 
because of the quicker response.

Swype backspace isnt a 'real' key. Swype looks at a text boxes content only, 
then if there is text it changes the contents of the text box rather than 
actually sending a key press, tisk tisk.  Anyway, the new swype compatibility 
fixes that by making swype think there is always text and monitoring the 
textbox for changes made rather than monitoring actual keys.

When do the Swype changes go live?
On latest version of both client and server, still no backspace, and swyped 
words don't appear...

I figured out when the backspace key acts causes a delete...Open messages, keep 
the phone in potrait mode and type a message partially, tilt the phone to 
landscape...now the first time you press backspace it takes you to delete by 
selection screen...this does not happen if we start the message in landscape 
mode (only when we start in potrait and then switch to landscape). Its 
happening in my HTC Incredible S too
