Description Ludwig Reiter 2010-08-19 15:46:27 UTC 
Version: e5 n900 4.5~20100813.1163254-1maemo1.1164259

In some textfiles I tried to enter a word and the autocompletion appeared, disappeared and the letter had changed. e.g. (t->5, or v->/)
This is a major letter entering problem.
Comment 1 Ludwig Reiter 2010-08-20 11:10:53 UTC 
same happens at adding recipients to an event.
Comment 2 Bjoern Ricks 2010-09-15 15:23:25 UTC 
confirmed with 4:4.5~20100910.1175286-1maemo5.1174786

can't insert a correct participant for invitations
Comment 3 Bjoern Ricks 2010-09-16 09:05:14 UTC 
happens also in the create task dialog (e.g. in Title and Location fields)
Comment 4 Felix Wolfsteller 2010-09-17 19:08:38 UTC 
Usually I find that it behaves as if the "modifier" key (blue arrow) was pressed. E.g. q->1 w->2 e->3 etc...

Also, I have the impression that this happens more often when typing fast.
Comment 5 Bernhard E. Reiter 2010-09-20 09:17:50 UTC 
I also believe it is a speed and therefore a qt4 issue.
And it might go away, if we solve other speed problems.
Also there should be an umstream problem report with qt
as qt even under stress should not obstruct the typing input
like it does right now.

I agree that it is major, because is really obstructs a major use case.
I am adjusting setting priority to "high".
Comment 6 Bjoern Ricks 2010-09-20 10:31:43 UTC 
This issue is already reported to Qt. For me it's a very high prio issue because it prevents me to create e.g. useful event names.
Comment 7 Bernhard E. Reiter 2010-09-20 17:36:51 UTC 
Björn can you link the qt problem report for reference, please?

Just deleting and typing slower is a workaround that works for me,
given that this cannot be solved quickly, I do not believe it should be VHI.
Comment 8 Felix Wolfsteller 2010-09-30 08:09:09 UTC 
Maybe we have two issues, because sometimes typing fast is a solution.

Seems as if you have 0.x seconds to type a new character, otherwise the last typed in one is modified as if you had pressed the modifier button.
