** Description changed:
I've seen certain phrases lock up autokey-gtk, and ultimately lock up
your ability to type into any other application until the autokey python
process is killed. Autokey should save my phrases exactly the way I type
- them, but behind the scenes it needs to do a better job escaping special
- characters or keywords, so that later, when it autokeys my phrases,
- special words or characters don't lock autokey up.
+ them, but behind the scenes it needs to do a better job of escaping
+ special characters or keywords, so that later, when it autokeys my
+ phrases, special words or characters don't lock autokey up.
Specifically, try making a phrase for "<script>" without quotes. Doing
so will cause a lock-up when you try to autokey that phrase later.
To reproduce this bug, simply do the following steps:
1) If you don't have autokey install, do this:
sudo apt-get install autokey-gtk
2) Create a new phrase, by clicking the "New" button on the top-bar-
panel then click "phrase" from the sub-menu.
3) Name the phrase anything you want ("test" without quotes will be
fine).
4) For the phrase, type "<script>" (without quotes) into the text-box-
control.
5) After this, click the "Set" button to create a hotkey combination, so
that anytime you press that combination of keys autokey will type
<script>. For example, I chose ctrl-alt-q as the hot combination.
6) Click the "Save" button on the top-bar-panel of autkey.
7) Open up a text editor (like gedit), and now hit the hot-key-
combination you created in step 5.
Expected result: Autokey should type "<script>" (without quotes) into
gedit.
Actual result: Autokey not only locks up itself, but it also locks up
your ability to type anywhere else until you actually kill the autokey
python process that is running autokey.
I have a lot of html templates that I use autokey to insert into code-
editors and such. Many of these templates have <script></script> tags in
them. Each time I try to autokey phrases containing "<script>", Autokey
locks up with the behavior I've described.
