Description thp4 2011-08-10 14:50:54 EEST
HARDWARE MODEL: N950, MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan

BUG DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS
===========================================================

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
===========================================================
1. Try to use Terminal app (or any other application using text input)
2. Have the need to move the cursor or similar with the keyboard

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
===================

The virtual keyboard allows the cursor to be moved.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
===================

Need to fall back to the hardware keyboard for cursor movement. In cases where
the MeeGo device does not have a hardware keyboard, cursor movement is not
possible at all (this bug report assumes that not all applications allow cursor
movement via touchscreen - for example, in the MeeGo Harmattan Terminal, the
touchscreen is just used for scrolling - cursor movement is not possible).

USER IMPACT:
===================

User cannot interact with certain applications that require arrow key input
(e.g. scrollable views with text input where cursor movement via touch is not
an option).

REPRODUCIBILITY:
=====================================

in the Terminal, I am able to switch the Toolbar between 'Arrows' and 'Shell'
using either the menu in the top right corner or a sideways flick in the
terminal area.

The VKB in meego-terminal now has a toolbar with the cursor keys.
