HARDWARE (Jolla1, Tablet, XA2,…): XA2 Plus, X10
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): No
DESCRIPTION:
The Arabic diacritics do not show at all in the popup of a character key (accents in CharacterKey), in a custom keyboard layout.
However, these diacritics show correctly if they are inserted directly in the Caption or captionShifted of a CharacterKey.
PRECONDITIONS:
Install an Arabic keyboard layout, such as Multi Keyboard Layouts
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Install Multi Keyboard Layouts
- Choose Arabic layout
- Press and hold the comma symbol
EXPECTED RESULT:
The diacritics should show in popup key
ACTUAL RESULT:
An empty field is shown instead, the diacritics aren’t rendered
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
(Please ALWAYS attach relevant data such as logs, screenshots, etc…)
Note that the diacritics are actually inserted when the accent key is pressed. They are rendered correctly by Sailfish on documents, bu not on the keyboard.
Note also that these diacritics are shown in the keyboard if written in the caption or captionshifted in the QML file.
Note also that sometimes, very rarely, the diacritics do appear on the popup, but it disappears again on reboot. I failed so far to reproduce the bug or how it appears.
Does anyone with knowledge of the keyboard in QT or Sailfish, or how rendering goes for the keyboard, have any clues or pointers to help me identify and reproduce this bug (and maybe fix if it’s not Sailfish core related) ?
