import xbmc, xbmcaddon, xbmcplugin,xbmcgui

kb = xbmc.Keyboard(u"öäü", "Unicode Test", False)

kb.doModal()

if (kb.isConfirmed()):

    print "OK =" + kb.getText()

else:

    print "Cancel ="

Call the above code a few times (tested on Windows 7 64Bit) and press backspace.
Sometimes backspace works and sometimes not!
If it doesn't work then the print "OK... won't create a log entry.
Instead you'll get:

Please can anybody confirm this behavior/bug ?

full debug log via xbmclogs.com please and have a look if beside the log file a .dmp file was created. post that as well via dropbox or similar.

1) Debug log

2) First time add-on is started begins at line 349.
Backspace with keyboard dialog works as you can see in notice "OK =öä" in line 375 because the Ü is deleted.
But there are the first errors "ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.video.test/) failed"

3) Second time add-on is started begins at line 390.
In line 409 backspace is pressed immediately followed by error messages.
Pressing okay closes the dialog box but afterwards the working notification is shown and XBMC doesn't respond anymore.
Therefore killed with task manager.

When backspace is pressed. The underlying selection of the test add-on in the list view of MyVideoNav flashes onces.
Perhaps this is important to know.

bluetooth keyboard with low battery or covered with aloi?

No Fujitsu laptop keyboard.
Is it the wrong type of keyboard for Frodo? Laugh

Did anybody already use my test add-on to reproduce the bug?

if you're using visual studio can you set a breakpoint on the 'throw' of an exception. This line is particularly bothersome:

00:05:21 T:5124 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Unhandled exception

If you can, can you let us know what line it breaks on?

I'm sorry, but this is an approach I don't like.
Even if I could tell you the line then an official developer must look on it.

I do a part of the UAT for you, but you do the bug fixing.
For this I already gave you my rocket science python add-on. Wink

Seems to work now in release Frodo Beta 2 20121204
