Issues when typing the letter "C"
#16
I have the same exact problem, both on my Laptop and on my PC.
Might this be because I'm using an Azerty keyboard on both of those?

Visual keyboard of kodi works just fine, only happens with hardware keyboard.


Kodi Info
Version: Kodi 17.0-RC3 Git:20170111-4d93228-dirty
Compiled: Jan 12 2017
Screen-mode: Fullscreen

Operating System
Windows 10 Home

Keyboard Info
Country: Belgium
Language: Dutch (Belgium) -> you also have a Dutch (Netherlands)
Keyboard-layout: AZERTY

Bug reproduction

Example 1:
If I type for example "Jack Reacher" at a normal speed it registers properly, but if I type "Jack Reacher" at a fast speed it becomes "Jak Reaher".
It seems like there is a 1ms delay for the "c" to display compared to other characters.

Example 2:
If I hold "a" on my keyboard it keeps adding up like "aaaaaaaaa" but if I do it with "c" it only displays it once and ends up like "c".
The strange thing though is that when I hold LeftShift and "c" at the same time it works fine and displays as "CCCCCCCCCCCC".

Tested all the keys on my keyboard and this problem only persists with key "c".
I also tried switching the keyboard-layout to QWERTY (trough windows) but the problem remained the same.

I tested this using the Search -> Search add-ons function. But it happens in every dialog window where you can insert a string.

The information on bug tracker has more details and a debug log.

With the report on bug tracker I tested it with 17.0 RC4, same issue.

Thanks for the help but how am I supposed to use that, I've never used GitHub before.

This is what I see when I click your link while logged in to GitHub.

If you had the possibility to compile yourself then you can get the necessary code changes from GitHub.
Otherwise you must wait until it gets into the provided builds.

Edit:
I've triggered a test build for you with Krypton RC4 and the fix on top.
You can download it at http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/win32...rypton.exe

Please response whether this fixes the issue or not.
