asked 2016-02-09 13:16:09 +0200
Hi to all..
After last system update (2.0.1.7) I noticed about a problem in my Hebrew virtual keyboard that based on English vkb. Probably it affect all Right-to-Left vkb's.
Every time when I press on space bar it also add space before the first word (see screenshot).
What interesting, that it happens only in sailfish apps. In android apps it working as usual without any problem. And it started to happens only aftet last system update.
Someone know what I can do to fix it ? Which file and what exactly edit ?
Thanks.
P.S. Already tried different ways, different fonts, but always the same result....
As example you can use my: https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/hebrew-vkb-simple

Any ideas ?

Problem fixed in v 2.0.2.45...
Thank Jolla (Pekka Vuorela)!
I have no problems with any of Persian, Arabic or Urdu layouts, all of which are RTL. Albeit these are simple layouts based on jolla keyboard. Anyway, can you please clarify more if you have problems with just one Hebrew keyboard, or all of them? If one, please send a link for us to try to reproduce.

Schturman ( 2016-02-10 11:58:06 +0200 )editI guess the problem is in how Jolla handle the Hebrew characters. I tried many scenarios including changing local.conf, trying different fonts (other than what was in your package), removing English letters from the layout, disabling spell-checker, importing jolla-keyboard 1.0 in the layout qml, etc.
Only in one scenario the layout worked properly, however not usable at all: Default DroidSansHebrew font on Jolla seems to have no characters(!) so without adding a correct font you will get rectangles for Hebrew letters. In this situation the keyboard works fine.
Furthermore, Just insert an English letter at the beginning, all those extra spaces will be gone. So I'm sure the problem is not with your layouts.
By the way, another problem with non-latin fonts ensures that they've changed something in font handling. In the changelog, however, they speak only about removing the "extra light" family.
