type ff then space automatically added

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. double press letter "f"
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normally it's "ff" but look like "ff " (a space at the end)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
472

That must be because of the new font-changes. It doesn't happen on the old 
(non-SDK) revisions

I'm unable to reproduce this, so maybe I can get some more details from you.  
Does this happen on the simulator, device, or both? iPhone or iPad? what 
version? By double press do you mean just pressing f twice? Does this happen 
with other characters besides f? Maybe it would help to take a screenshot or a 
video.  Thanks!

Hi SpingerDom, sorry for not being clear,  I meant what version of iOS, not of 
mobileterminal.  (Note that the bug template asks "On what operating system?"). 
 Are you also seeing the same problem? If so feel free to answer any of the 
other 4 questions I asked.

Ooops. I'm terribly sorry for this to happen. My friend forgot to logout on my 
iPhone with his account, so this comment was posted as his. In fact, it was 
mine.

To the point, I'd need a compiled version of r472 in order to try

Hi Dave,  You are in luck.  I (quietly) put a version at 
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list a few days ago.  Thanks 
so very much for your help.

I have iPhone 4 iOS 4.1 and it's happening for me.  It seems to be a font issue 
since it's not actually placing a space after the name, it's just scrunching 
the characters close together.  It's not only ff as fi has the same issue (but 
not if, ii or fx).

I've tested Ipad 3.2.2 and this does NOT happen.

In the attached screenshot you can see fiiii with the space before the cursor.  
If you create a file or folder, it's not actually putting a space there, though.

Thank you
What version of mobile terminal are you using there? (iPad and iPhone)

 v472 for both devices.

Use r426 (http://mobileterminal.googlecode.com/files/Terminal-426-unstable.zip) 
or Sauriks binary: 
(http://apt.saurik.com/debs/mobileterminal_364.3-12_iphoneos-arm.deb)

I've heard there were recently some spacing issues fixed in CoreText in 10.6.5. 
 Lets hope that this solves the problem since mobileterminal isn't really doing 
anything special.

Anyone still seeing this? Does anyone have more details about which versions of 
iOS cause this to happen?

Original comment by allen.po...@gmail.com on 4 Dec 2010 at 6:20

This now shows up for me in the iPhone simulator with XCode 2.3.2.  Perhaps 
i'll try with a newer xcode.

This bug is still existant in rev510
Seems like the second f just slides back to teh first

On r510, iOS 4.2.1, 3Gs, not a problem.

could you please take a screenshot?

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 23 Jan 2011 at 9:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Dave, what version of iOS where you using?

I don't think a screenshot is necessary -- it seems like its clearly a CoreText 
bug since it happens for some iOS versions and not for others.

4.1 on a 3GS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Most deffinately your screens are showing r510 on a 3GS...
Then I wonder what's the difference between our firmwares. It's hard to believe 
4.1 and 4.2.1 really differ in CoreText, because no other application I know 
ever had problems

It happens on the iPhone 4.0 simulator, but not the iPad 3.2 simulator. 

Original comment by allen.po...@gmail.com on 25 Jan 2011 at 6:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

And appearently, also on a 3GS with newer bootrom

Somehow, only ff is affected. ii, if, fi and other "smaller" letters work 
perfectly

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 25 Jan 2011 at 1:50

Still existant on rev520

Any ideas?
