Further update: I can’t reproduce the issue with "normal" text fields (tested bing.com and yahoo.com, the issue isn’t present).
Tested again google.com, and I can’t reproduce the issue by only clearing the field with backspace. For the bug to be observed, I first have to clear the current uncommitted word with the "X" icon, then type something else, then erase it with backspace, then hit backspace again in the empty field, and the first word (that was cleared by "X") is restored. It seems there are two issues there, and my guess is that both are in oxide: - when the field is cleared with the "X" icon, we don’t cancel the current composition - when pressing backspace in an empty text field, the event should be ignored ** Summary changed: - [browser] Clearing text entry with backspace restores the previously uncommitted word + Current composition is not canceled when a text input field is cleared programmatically ** Changed in: ubuntu-keyboard Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: oxide Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: oxide Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu WebApps bug tracking, which is subscribed to Oxide. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384357 Title: Current composition is not canceled when a text input field is cleared programmatically Status in Oxide Webview: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu Keyboard: Invalid Status in Web Browser App: Invalid Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Using rtm 122 - start the webbrowser - go on google.com - type "ubuntu" in the google page text entry - tap the "x" symbol at the right of the entry -> the entry is cleared and then the text is restored once you hit that issue, you can also hit another bug - type the delete key until emptying the entry, then another time -> the text is restored and the delete key loop over the content To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+bug/1384357/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs Post to : ubuntu-webapps-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
