Another thing to note is that we autorepeat pressed key even when press-and-hold popup is being displayed. This not how it works in native apps: if you press and hold a key in TextEdit, you'll immediately get press-and-hold popup and there won't be any autorepeats.

I haven't applied your patch, but I noticed this too. Looks like we need another bug for that.

The right arrow 'works' in that the cursor gets moved ahead one character, but then the input method immediately deletes the character and replaces it with the new candidate character. -- Scott On Feb 17, 2012, at 8:55 AM, Alexander Zuev wrote:

Thanks Leonid,

with this option it works - kind of strange - but the same way with or without my fix. It is possible to select variant from popup using mouse and numbers and with arrows - that's a little bit different story - for some reason left arrow (but not right one) being also translated to the TextArea so cursor starts moving and we will have that letter inserted in the wrong place. However this is not being affected by my fix - it works the same way with or without it.

Looks like i need a step-by-step instruction here - i were unable to do it in TextEdit app on 10.7.3 machine with any language that has variants of 'e' letter. Once i hold down the e it starts autorepeating. Moving mouse or using arrow keys do not help much. Any option i have to turn on for that?

With best regards, Alex
