Firefox 79.0.5 mangles text entry in Guardian crossword grid #14275

Closed SuffolkPunch closed 3 years ago

SuffolkPunch commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Launch FF 79.0.5 in Android 9 or 10 phone or tablet. Go to URL https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/cryptic/28223 Tap on the first light in 8 across; type the 8 letters 'BADLYOFF'. The letters of the answer should be entered in the lights for 8 across.

Actual behavior

The first typed letter 'B' is entered in the first light, and the cursor moves one step right to the next light. The second letter 'A' is NOT entered in that light. Tapping the letter 'A' again still doesn't enter it. Tap the 3rd light, tap 'D' and it IS entered and the cursor moves one place to the right to the 4th light. Tap 'L' and it is NOT entered in the 4th light Now go back to the 2nd light (which previously blocked entry) and tap 'A' - it gets entered! Jump to the 4th light which previously blocked entry and tap 'L' - it gets entered!

This pattern of behaviour repeats: after you tap and enter a letter the cursor moves to the right one place, and tapping another letter fails to enter it there. However if you place the cursor at any other light, and tap a letter, it IS entered.

Note: Version 84.0.4147.125 of the Android Chrome browser doesn't exhibit this fault. So my work-around is to use Chrome for crosswords!

Device information

  1. Motorola G(8) Power running Android 10
  2. Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8" running EMUI 9.1 and Android 9

Both are using the default (GBoard) pop-up keyboard.

Forgot to say: the previous version of Firefox for Android didn't have this issue.

@SuffolkPunch This doesn't seem to occurs on Firefox Nightly (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix). Could you verify this?

SuffolkPunch commented 3 years ago

Thanks - yes it looks as if that sorts this problem. Gboard (v 9.8.06.328163918-release-arm64-v8a) now plays nicely with Firefox Nightly (v 201014 17:01 build # 20157696750, GV: 83.0a1) when used to enter letters in today's Pasquale Guardian cryptic crossword puzzle. Well done! Martin On 15/10/2020 at 3:53 PM, "Makoto Kato" wrote: @SuffolkPunch This doesn't seem to occurs on Firefox Nightly (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix).
