REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): Always
BUILD ID = OS VERSION (Settings > About product): 4.0.1.48
HARDWARE (XA2, Xperia 10…): Xperia X
UI LANGUAGE:English
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): Yes
DESCRIPTION:When writing an SMS or any text with prediction activated, the words suggested is limited to the current width of the screen. It does not scroll further to offer more words.
PRECONDITIONS:None to my knowledge
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Write new SMS
Start writing and suggestions will appear
Try scrolling to see more words offered
EXPECTED RESULT: The word suggestions bar should scroll and offer more words
ACTUAL RESULT: The suggestions bar scrolls a little bit but stops short of one half word. The whole keyboard scrolls by the way a pixel in the same direction which is strange.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
(Please ALWAYS attach relevant data such as logs, screenshots, etc…)
Here is a screenshot from the Notes app. Quite stange operation. You can select many words but the word “Dog” I wrote cannot be replaced! I am having Xperia X. Näyttökuva_20210214_001|281x500
I was able to reproduce it, by enabling another keyboard layout. I then have the error with every keyboard language. Disabling all but one keyboard makes the problem go away.
I’m rather disappointed that 4.0.1 didn’t fix this issue and all the other small one that were introduces with 4.0.1.45. Instead a very unfinished version was released to the public. Let’s wait for some months for the next update and hope that some or hopefully most of those issues are resolved. I’m rather skeptical, though.
There appear to be many mini-bugs (scrolling of text predictions, small bug in Android support etc.) that should be fixed with an intermediate release, i.e. not in months but within weeks (that’s what I hope, at least, although it would be a novel approach)
In my xperia x, I have problems with the horizontal prediction list, but the vertical prediction list in the landscape keyboard works without problems.
I can say that this does occur in SailfishOS 4.0.1.48. I found that when having something in the clipboard, the problem seems worse. When attempting the horizontal scrolling of the predicted text, it highlights the options as if you were still holding down on them. The bar seems to move slightly, but other than that, there is no visible change.
Could more users affected by this bug please report here to get Jolla’s attention? This issue is not tracked for the moment. I can understand this is not a critical issue. I could reproduce this on an XA2 and 10.
