This is a Blocker issue for us.Can you raise this priority to P0-Blocker and work on it?

This error is moved from wrt team Boston Defect -6537
 and the analysis in 6537 doesnt prove that it is Qtwebkit error. Wrt team need to analyse and prove that it is Qtwebkit error, so ignoring the error as now. Re-open the error after analysis if the problem seems to be in QtWebkit.

This bug is reproducible using QtTestBrowser.

I debugged this further and found that following piece of code which, it seems, was introduced in Webkit2.1. Whenever control passes through this code, text is getting repeated.

void QWebPagePrivate::inputMethodEvent(QInputMethodEvent *ev)
{
...
...

#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040600
        if (hasSelection) {
            QString text = (renderTextControl) ? QString(renderTextControl->text()) : QString();
            if (preedit.isEmpty() && selection.start + selection.length > 0)
                preedit = text;
            editor->setComposition(preedit, underlines,
                                   (selection.length < 0) ? selection.start + selection.length : selection.start,
                                   (selection.length < 0) ? selection.start : selection.start + selection.length);
        } else
#endif
...
...
}

It seems text is getting appended to older string every time in QString(renderTextControl->text()).

Also, this happens even if we simply click on empty area in the virtual keypad.

This behavior is not seen with the Address bar text field. It happens only within the html text field.

CC'ing Robert since he introduced this code block in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/58218>

Adding dependency to 39121 as it is top issue for services.

What we need to do is outlined by Simon in:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39625#c15

Unfortunately I never got round to implementing it. I can look at it this weekend, but if the priority needs to be higher then someone should do it before me.

There is a patch up for review at:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39625

Let me know if it works for you.

Also, as someone who only has the unit tests to go on, can you provide a unit test for this case similar to those in tst_qwebpage?

Hi Ankur,

Is this fixed for you in trunk now?

[Ankur Baranwal]

Hi Robert, the problem is fixed in trunk now. Thanks.

[Suresh Voruganti]

Duplicating this error to 39625
as the patch for 39625 fixed this issue.
