Description Nicolas Christener 2019-10-31 13:35:19 UTC
Description:
In iOS 13 some keys on a hardware keyboard that previously didn't work now do something. It seems, that the tab key (tabulator) doesn't do the completely right thing in a writer document.

While the tab key inserts a tab stop in the document the focus seems to jump to an other GUI element (I can't tell which one).

This leads to the situation where the user needs to tap into the document after pressing "tab" in order to continue writing text.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open/create a writer document using the iOS app
2. Write some random text
3. Press the "tab" key on a hardware keyboard
4. Write more text

Actual Results:
The tab stop was inserted but the focus is not in the document anymore and the user can't continue its writing.

Expected Results:
The focus should not change and the user should be able to continue its writing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Tested in 4.2.20.

The problem is fixed, I think this issue can be closed.

@Tor: could you make the fix available in 4.1.x as well?

Thanks a lot to the Collabora team and especiall Tor for taking care of this!

The gerrit change mentioned was for the collabora-online-4 branch from which the 4.1.x series is built. The code is quite different in the master branch from which the 4.2.x series is built.

Let's close as WFM, then.
