Be a slow typer and type C l o c k and you get Clockock. Hum, how slow is a slow typer? I need to be typing at about 2 chars per second, but what is it like on the XO4? Children with developmental disabilities or in the early stage of keyboard learning will type slowly enough to trigger this problem. It can be easily reproduced on an XO-4 by typing one key every two seconds. I'm happy for this to be the test case descriptor. I don't think that selecting the text is the right approach. If I am a slow typer, I would appreciate the computer autocompleting me :) I disagree. I think selecting the completion is the right approach. It is how Firefox handles the issue. That way, when the user does not observe the completion, any further typing will immediately erase the completion. Perhaps you haven't understood what I mean. Imagine this: - empty field, - press 'c', the 'c' appears, - after one second delay, autocomplete is ambiguous (clock, chat, record, physics, stopwatch, calculate), so nothing further happens, - press 'l', the 'l' appears, - after one second delay, autocomplete is unambiguous, so 'ock' is added to the text, and 'ock' is to be highlighted as selected text, - press 'o', the selected 'ock' is erased, and the 'o' appears, - after one second delay, autocomplete is unambiguous, so 'ck' is added to the text, and 'ck' is highlighted as selected text, At the moment, without a fix, 'Clocko' is in the field. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

There was no attempt to flush the display. No idea if there was a ticket for this, it isn't mentioned in the commit: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/6c8141ba9994d8ec1f5e29d5ec7e39 34091636ee Can be fixed by using the technique in the following commit: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/726aaeeff70848b7f31c7ae6e4392a 4d49f2d7d1 I'm not touching it for a few days in case GCI team want to take it on. Good catch! I have made a patch https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/475 Thanks, Sam ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Checked on Fedora 20, no issues seen.
Method #1, install package python-dateutil-2.2-1.fc22.noarch.rpm,
restart Sugar, test Sugar desktop functions, test my settings, test
journal, test several activities.
Method #2, static analysis; the only use in sugar-toolkit-gtk{,3} is
in a private function _extract_modification_time in
src/sugar3/activity/i18n.py which is for PO file revision date

sugar-toolkit-gtk3, or the activity set in my builds, or any of the
.py files in /usr/lib/. (It might be removed as unused?)
Method #3, manual checking of the feature used by the function, with
two of the revision dates in the Record activity PO files, against 2.x;
Hi James, thanks for the update. So if I read the above correctly
there's only one function that uses it in the toolkits, it works fine
with the new version, but there doesn't appear to be any Activity that
actually uses the function?

Yes.
Didn't look in Sugar Labs infrastructure.
Didn't look in all Activities.
