Type 'ya.ru' (popular Russian search engine) and open the page. Now its address in history. 2. Try to enter 'ya.ru' from virtual keyboard. To actually enter it to the Address Bar you will have to type: yaa..rruu To get yahoo.com, you will have to type: yaahoo.com If 'yahoo.com' is already in history that would be: yahoooo.ccoomm As you see, the firs letter is ignored if entry with the same beginning is already in history. Of course, with real keyboard this problem does not exist. 2) Firefox 'Smart Address Bar' does not respect 'keep above others' from desktop manager (kwin from KDE 3 and 4 was tested, but it seem to be true for other window managers) and gets on top of the virtual keyboard or any other window. ALL virtual keyboards I could install are subject to these two problems: xvkbd, kvkbd, viki, cellwriter, plasmaboard and probably any other. By the way Windows Vista's virtual keyboard somehow works with Firefox 'Smart' bar just like real keyboard. This is actually not specific to version 11.3 and (probably) not specific to openSUSE. But I don't know, where the problem exactly is, so I set it to the newest version of openSUSE. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
