At various times the past few days I've encountered a few repeating (but not yet consistently reproduceable) problems with the Illume keyboard.
1 - intermittently, when pressing a key in Terminal keyboard it will switch back to Default keyboard. Most often when this occurs I've pressed 'space', usually at or near the bottom edge, and the keyboard changes even before I raise the stylus. 2 - very intermittently, it registers the wrong keystroke, usually the key TWO rows above the one pressed. IE, I press 'B' but it will produce 'Y', press 'G' and get '6'. If it were one row above I could blame it on touchscreen vs stylus, but two rows is definitely NOT that. 3 - When switching screen orientations (using Illume Config 'screen resolution' dialog) sometimes the Illume keyboard is stretched to fit the landscape mode screen - if this happens, the keyboard consumes about the lower 65% of the screen, leaving room for about 4 lines between keyboard and top shelf. (http://newkirk.us/om/Screenshot-4.png) 4 - After #3 occurs, reverting to Portrait orientation leaves the keyboard scaled to the larger size, centered, so that for Terminal keyboard only keys from 2 to = are visible. (IE, enter is off the right edge of screen, 1 is off left side) (http://newkirk.us/om/Screenshot-5.png) Finally, something inherently repeatable: When I tap the icon to choose different keyboard layouts, the pup-up list is three lines high. It contains 'Default', 'Numbers', and 'Terminal'. Unfortunately, it also contains horizontal and vertical scrollbars, forcing me to scroll the list before I can select 'Terminal'. (when combined with #1 above, it becomes downright maddening, having to tap-scroll-tap each time it switches itself back to Default) Considering that this popup is guaranteed to be temporary why not just expand to screen limits before adding scrollbars? j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
