This is just amazing! IMO this was a big disadvantage of the N900..

Lol. Nice and to the point. I like it. (I agree. Give realsportscars money.

)

Anyway, I was only able to get to wifi and update from the first devel version of this to the newer one last night, pretty late in. I rebooted and got some time to fiddle with it in conversations - I can't completely tell how well it worked. I did get a couple of text-input-doesn't-get-committed moments, however, they happened less, and I got the text to commit more often. I haven't had the time to see a pattern for when they commits happen or when they don't yet; just that they seem to get committed more consistently, with less text-not-committed bugs.

So in my perception, there's been improvement. I can't say it's completely bug-less, but it at least seems to be.

On another note, I was walking around campus yesterday finally being able to text with one hand, without it being a complicated hard-ware keyboard-open, N900-in-splayed-fingers, thumb-awkwardly-contorting-around-to-reach-all-the-buttons affair. It was wonderful.

All this needs is text prediction/autocorrect. The N900 is infinitely more "useable" with a portrait VKB.

Thanks for working on this. May your crops always be fertilized and grow well.

Eheh...Glad that the bug is quite solved, after your answer i'm quite sure that I understood what is the problem...And I'm also quite sure that you have some process in background that slow down ui :P (this is the problem, a "sync" fault). I will try something...

Love this sentence "N900-in-splayed-fingers, thumb-awkwardly-contorting-around-to-reach-all-the-buttons affair" LOL

I am seeing the same thing regarding some cases where initial text entry doesn't get passed back to the application's text field. It works more than it doesn't though - seems to be only the first time I try to input text.

Also - working with password fields on web-forms is interesting. For example:

First text input:
MyWrongPassword

Textbox displays:
MyWrongPassword

Go to edit text again and clear out "MyWrongPassword" and enter "MyCorrectPassword"

Textbox displays:
MyWrongPasswordMyCorrectPassword

And this keeps going on :-)

Don't want to go OT or point finger against you, but people that think that have to understand that donations are a way to support develop...
I heard a lot of people that say "when you do this I will donate"...no one did it -_-

And...if you know where vkb doesn't works say it so I can fix

Sorry I'm a bit tired today...Did you experienced this in a web page? If yes, Did you use MicroB?

EDIT:
@hawaii: In a far far future perhaps yes :P

EDIT AGAIN: you said "working with password fields on web-forms is interesting" so yes it is in a web page

This is a well knowed bug that I'm solving with a next release in next days...as you said, atm, only the first commit works well in web-page...next commit works sometimes yes, sometimes not

I decided to not wait until I for sure have a job, because this has been one of the most needed developments on the N900. Donated.
