I was excited to try this out then I encountered a strange issue: in every website I visit when I type an & symbol into an input element it is replaced with a 7 (e.g. I type "password&" the input shows "password7"). It's happening across all sites for both text and more importantly password inputs so I can't login to many of sites I regularly visit and really try the app. Anyone have any ideas?
- cpeterso 14y agoI'm a developer on the Firefox Mobile team and deal with most keyboard bugs. What Android device are you using? Is only the & symbol affected? Are you using Android's default virtual keyboard or a third-party virtual keyboards? Every third-party keyboard has its own unique "quirks", so working around them is like playing Whack-A-Mole. :)
- gatordan 14y agoThanks for they reply! I'm using a Droid Bionic, android version 2.3.4 and this is on the default virtual keyboard. Ampersand is the only character affected as far as i can tell.
- cpeterso 14y agoI opened a new bug on Bugzilla to track this issue: http://bugzil.la/768727 http://bugzil.la/768727 That is a strange problem. I'm not sure why SHIFT+7 would be treated any differently than SHIFT+6 or SHIFT+8. Part of the challenge of Android development is getting a hold of all the devices that need to be tested. :)
- cpeterso 14y agobtw, this bug is probably a regression from my "fix" for http://bugzil.la/755517 http://bugzil.la/755517 where some keyboards produced key code ALT+7 instead of SHIFT+7. Sorry! <:)
- cpeterso 14y agoI landed a fix for this bug in Firefox's Nightly 16 and Aurora 15 channels. The next update to Firefox 14 and Firefox Beta in the Google Play store should include this fix, too.
