Open
Description
MacOS has an i18n feature where long-pressing on a key (e.g. e) that may have diacriticals
in non-English Latin-script languages (e.g. French) will open a popup that lets one choose
the letter with a diacritical version. This doesn't really work as intended in Edwood:
- the letter appears in Edwood on key-down
- (simultaneously) the MacOS window appears. It's locaiton is "near" the insertion point
but not correctly positioned (how did it pick a location?) (It looks like it's at the corner of the
Window. But how is that communicated to the OS?) - click on the letter with a diacritical delivers the letter with the diacritical to the Edwood
Window now under the mouse cursor.
To fix this:
- position the popup such that the affordance suggesting insertion is much closer to the
insertion point - the
Texttarget of the insertion popup is noted - don't insert a character on key-down.
This concievably is actually a devdraw bug so perhaps can only be fixed with changes there
or use of an alternative (c.f. #205)
