Bug 42361 – [Qt] Virtual keyboard enters text to wrong field

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Jan-Arve Sæther]

PRECONDITION:
On Windows 7, Use the Chinese (Simplified) Microsoft Pinyin New Experience Input Style input method of windows.
(Most likely any input method with prediction will do).
Compile attached example

STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Click on any input field and type some text. (input method editor with suggested predictions will appear)
2. Click to another input field and type text

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Text is added to both fields

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Even the second input field starts to have blinking cursor, the text always
goes to the firstly selected field and cursor also starts to blink there. It is
not possible to input text to other fields.


Note that the example uses QGraphicsWebView, but QWebView demonstrates the same problem too, so it seems to be a bug somewhere in webkit

Since this is marked at P1 and critical here (https://projects.maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161042) I set the importance to be the same. (Qt 4.7.0 stuff)

[Jonni Rainisto]

most likely different bug than in qtrequirements, on win 7 with on-screen keyboard with text prediction on, text comes to focused input elements just fine (english prediction). 

So might be releated to chinese pinyin input style method.

According to the original PMO report, this is actually ruled out as being a WebKit bug as it has now been reproduced with a QGraphicsView with just two lineedits in it, so it seems like that WebKit can be ruled out of the equation here.
