T9/edit control bug helix
#1
This bug is not present in gotham so latest changes (and I've been told by Millhouse that have been a few in helix) has introduced this bug.

In helix after typing a word USING T9 INPUT and hitting select, the last letter of the word changes IF you press select as soon as you can.(any user used to T9 will notice this).

I've noticed two patters to what the last letter changes to. I made a post in RPi section so I'll repost here
"ts a timing thing. I've mapped a button for "select". so after typing a word I can press select I guess in 0.3 seconds but if I wait for the blink after typing a word (roughly one full second) the word that I typed passes through fine. BUT if I dont wait (and press enter as fast as i could, roughly 0.2 seconds) then the last letter that I typed (in my word) changes. and I found what it changes to.

If I typed e for (which corresponds to 33) it uses the first letter that is assigned to 3, being d. so it assigns to the first letter. but theres other patters. if you wanted the last two letters from the same number (e.g jl from the number 5) since l is sent from the same button (5) and I said that it uses the first letter of that number (which is j) then it misses out j completly, which explains "nemo" since the last letters "mo" come from same number 6."

I hope a relevant Dev see's this and hopefully have a look when they have time.

Can you also put this up on http://trac.kodi.tv ? I'm not even sure who to poke about something like that, so it might be a while before someone checks it out, and on Trac we won't lose track of it (no pun intended).

I'm hoping a Dev might look into this bug, esecially now that Pi 2 is released.
I made a trac ticket here

I'm not a dev, so I don't really know where to look, but this is on my to-do list to try old versions and see if we can isolate the change that caused this. Although, I'm guessing it's something with how the text input stuff was all redone, along with the virtual keyboard.
