I have been testing entrance the last week or two, and I have a problem with the password prompt. For this mail, let's assume my password is "Jxc82Lp". When entering capital letters, I have to delay my keystrokes, like this; shift-pause-j-pause-unshift-pause-xc82-shift-pause-l-pause-unshift-pause-p-enter otherwise, the password fails to be recognized. if the password is all lowercase, the problem does not exist, which led me to discover this issue. I haven't looked at any code, nor would I know where to start (as I'm not familiar with e17/entrance code at all) I hope someone might have an idea about this issue.. it's a big annoyance. Cheers, -- Morten |

k, I've seen a few people with this problem and I've never been able to track it down completely. I've heard that it's sometimes dependent on WHICH shift key you press, and also that this problem pops up on IBM thinkpad keyboards? Atleast that's the amount of info I've been able to extract from people with the same problem. digitalfallout is one, and someone else in #edevelop a while back had the same problem. It might be easier to test a fwe things if you could stop by #edevelop. If you can't try to see if it's dependent upon which shift key you are using. We can go from there. If you're REALLY motivated and know C, checkout EvasTextEntry.[ch] in entrance/src/client/ there's quite a few things #if 0'd out that'll print the input out the console as you type. Come to think of it, I don't know if we still need the evas modified get/set calls since we're actually asking X for the keys... hmm...

I'll look at it tomorrow (no access from home to that system)... I have a quite plain keytronic keyboard, and I use the right shift. Cheers, -- Morten |

I just now tried it with left-shift, and I had no problems. But it isn't limited to IBM thinkpads. My keyboard is a plain logitech keyboard connected through an old compaq console switch...

hehe, who'd have thought ? :) I'll see what I can do, I'll send you a shout when I address the issue in cvs. On Thu, 2004-04-29 at 01:06, Morten Nilsen wrote: > Corey Donohoe wrote: > > k, I've seen a few people with this problem and I've never been able to > > track it down completely.
