Bug 40363 – [Qt] Keyboard input issues in plugins (flash) on Maemo5

• Component: WebKit Qt
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Dominik Holland]

ENVIRONMENT:
Maemo5 PR1.2 (strictly, PR1.1.1 OR the libqt4-maemo5-* does NOT exhibit this issue)

QWebView* qwv = new QWebView();
qwv->connect(qwv, SIGNAL(destroyed()), qApp, SLOT(quit()));
qwv->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
qwv->load(QUrl("http://www.bubblebox.com/swf6/1380/learn-to-fly.swf"));
qwv->showFullScreen();
qwv->show();
qApp->exec();

wait for flash content to load, poke around and then at some point (where the
plugin expects keyboard input) press a hardware keyboard button.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Have the button (un)press event be propagated and processed by the flash app (on libqt4-maemo5 this worked)

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The flash plugin freezes.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always, flashlauncher. Occasionally, a "HIM: x11FilterEvent( _HILDON_IM_COM / ) was not handled" message appears on the console.

FlashLauncher from extras-devel exibits this problem well (flashlauncher-experimental which links to libqt4-maemo5 also shows how it used to work).

You can also use http://www.bubblebox.com/swf6/1269/shopping-cart-hero.swf as test URL

Using the maemo-browser the flashplugin works like expected

After discussing with the team, closing as wontfix (unless Girish really want to fix that).
