             Summary: Clipboard behavior regressions since GUACAMOLE-55
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-82
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-82
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guacamole
            Reporter: Michael Jumper
             Fix For: 0.9.10-incubating


The Guacamole clipboard in the menu/sidebar has been behaving oddly since 
GUACAMOLE-55. I suspect this has to do with the switch to using a 
"content-editable" div, rather than a traditional textarea.

Thus far, I have noticed the following:

# Focus is unexpectedly given to the clipboard by default on mobile devices, 
causing the keyboard to open when the screen is tapped. While this sounds like 
it might be a good thing, mobile on-screen keyboards do not fire traditional 
keyboard events, so this does not actually work. Further, dismissing the 
keyboard is difficult if not impossible; it just keeps opening disruptively.
# When rich text is pasted within the clipboard, formatting is sometimes 
maintained even though the current intent of the clipboard field is that 
formatting should be stripped.
# Spaces and newlines are not handled consistently. Spaces are sometimes pasted 
within the remote desktop as non-breaking spaces, while newlines are sometimes 
dropped entirely.

It may be worth considering going back to a textarea for the sake of stability, 
and re-opening GUACAMOLE-55 for a different release.
