Hi,

A novice question.... I have a Dialog, which contains a Text widget.
Although the Backspace key is working as expected, the Delete key has
absolutely no effect i.e. nothing happens, the text is not deleted.

Is there anything specific one needs to do to get the Delete key to work
as expected? Following is the code being used:

Text lastName = new Text(composite, SWT.NONE);

TIA,
Best Regards,
- abhi

Hi,

for me (FF 3.0.3 / Linux / CVS HEAD) the Del key works as expected,
there is no special setting to get it working.

Which RAP version / browser / browser version / OS platform do you use?
Does the delete key work elsewhere in your browser, especially in qx
applications such as http://demo.qooxdoo.org/0.7.3/showcase/ ?

If so, would you please file a bug report:

Best regards, Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Your hint of mentioning the browser etc. has
led to the following observation:

The Delete key works perfectly well when the RAP app is accessed through
the browser (Firefox 3.0.3). The problem occurs only when it is accessed
directly from Eclipse itself using its internal browser. Is this
normal/expected behavior?

Environment Details:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Eclipse: Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20080617-2000
JDK Version: 1.6.0_01

Thanks again!

Best Regards,
-abhi

Hi,

the internal browser view has several bugs regarding wrong focus
handling. For exampling copy/paste text inside the internal browser does
not work either.

So as long as it works in all regular browsers you should open a bug
against the Platform/UA component.
