I just heard from someone for whom LÖVE 11.5's keyboard handlers are triggered unreliably. This is on a Samsung Galaxy A70 with AZERTY layout and 3 languages installed (English, French, Russian). Autocomplete is off.
The scenario
I had them run the following LÖVE app on their device:
utf8 = require 'utf8'
Lines = ''
function love.load()
love.keyboard.setTextInput(true)
local h, flags
W, h, flags = love.window.getMode()
flags.resizable = true
love.window.setMode(W, h, flags)
end
function love.resize(w, h)
W = w
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.printf(Lines, 10, 10, W)
end
function love.keypressed(key)
Lines = Lines .. 'keypress '..key..'\n'
end
function love.textinput(t)
Lines = Lines .. 'textinput '..t..' '..#t..' '..utf8.len(t)..'\n'
end
* I then had them press the following keys on their English AZERTY keyboard: `a` `space` `b` `.` `d` `backspace` `backspace` `backspace` `backspace` `e` `space` `f` `g`.
Some of the time, particularly if they switch apps in between, they see the expected output:
keypress a
textinput a 1 1
keypress space
textinput 1 1
keypress b
textinput b 1 1
keypress .
textinput . 1 1
keypress d
textinput . 1 1
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress e
textinput e 1 1
keypress space
textinput 1 1
keypress f
textinput f 1 1
keypress g
textinput g 1 1
At other times, however, they see the following output:
keypress a
textinput a 1 1
keypress space
textinput 1 1
keypress b
textinput b 1 1
keypress .
textinput . 1 1
keypress d
textinput . 1 1
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress backspace
keypress e
keypress space
textinput e 2 2
keypress space
textinput 1 1
keypress backspace
keypress f
keypress space
textinput f 2 2
keypress backspace
keypress g
keypress space
textinput g 2 2
It looks like pressing `.` and `d` one after another, then some time later backspacing over a word until a space, puts the keyboard into a strange mode that wraps every non-space character with a `backspace` before and a `space` after. Have y'all ever seen anything like this? Is it perhaps some sort of feature that can be turned off on the device?
