Bug with Palm's built-in virtual keyboard
For simplicity, I just quote from
http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~nevai/x/LapTopHack_man.html
<strong>NOTE.</strong>
If you use <strong>peditHack</strong>, <strong>[p]editPad</strong>, or
<strong>magiPad</strong> in text fields with have a dynamic size [that
is, the height of the field expands as characters are entered into the
field and contracts as characters are deleted from the field], then you
may end up with some display problems after returning to your original
text field. Alas, this is related to a Palm OS bug which appears even in
Palm's built-in applications whether or not you have LapTopHack
installed. My verdict is that blame Palm and LapTopHack is innocent.
<p>
<strong>EXAMPLE.</strong>
Whether or not you have LapTopHack installed, go to Palm's built-in
DateBook, and click on an blank time slot to start an appointment. Enter
the number "1" into the text field. Then bring up the built-in virtual
keyboard and continue entering
<p>
<pre>
RETURN
2
RETURN
3
</pre>
<p>
Now select all text and quit the virtual keyboard by tapping the "Done"
button. Isn't it weird that you see a blinking cursor and some text
selected at the same time?
Best regards, Paul
