Drag inserts all touched characters, should only insert first and last chars #167
Description
Opening a new bug, pursuant to your bulk update in issue 53.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type two letters that are close together (but not adjacent) in quick
succession. Example: T-H-E
2. Android interprets the rapid successive touches on 'T' and 'H' as a single
drag action.
What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
Hacker's keyboard inserts "tyhe" or "tghe" instead of "the".
What version of Hacker's Keyboard are you using? (See top of the app's
Settings menu.) On what phone or tablet?
Hacker's Keyboard: 1.29.1888 a4c1fa499b21 2012-01-13
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Android: 3.2 stock (with Samsung TouchWiz)
If applicable, does this affect the 4-row or 5-row layout, or both? Which
language(s)?
I have only tested with 5-row English.
Please provide any additional information below.
Re-opening this pursuant to issue 53 comment 10 -- are you still planning to
make the drag insert only the first and last characters? I think this would be
preferable to the current behavior of inserting all the intervening characters
as well.
Thanks!
