Backspace removes two characters

[mcatanzaro]

The backspace key removes two characters instead of one.

I am also observing this behavior.

Yes, I observe the same. It would be interesting to check the behavior on x11 to check if this is ozone-wayland specific

I dug into this a little bit.

It is because in DesktopWindowTreeHostOzone::DispatchEvent, you call SendEventToProcessor(event) for key events. DesktopWindowTreeHostX11 does not. I believe this was just an error in commit 25315fc.

Note in https://codereview.chromium.org/1236923003/diff/140001/ui/views/widget/desktop_aura/desktop_window_tree_host_x11.cc that they not only started calling GetInputMethod()->DispatchKeyEvent, but they also stopped calling SendEventToProcessor for key events.

Thx for looking into this. Will check this, do you have a patch already ?

[jbrianceau]

Seems to be the same problem I bumped into in #453
So this issue and #453 are very likely to be duplicates.

Is this fixed?

[jbrianceau]

As far as I know, it is not fixed yet @liveopp
Is this patch fixing the issue for you : jbrianceau@ec897cd ?

[jbrianceau]

Should be fixed in master branch now : 607abb6
