I just posted a new
Google List issue.
I'll repeat it here.
The primary complaint for
issue #583 was fixed, not being able to move the input cursor.
However, as part of fixing the issue, two new ones have popped up in v10816 that appears to be specific to Tier 1.
1. Capitalization is broken. In order to get a capital letter, it is necessary to hold down the shift key while touching the desired letter.
2. The first use of an EditBox (in a Player) has a random error with how the input is processed. Most of the time, the first time the Edit Box is touched and starts accepting input, the cursor gets stuck on the left and the letters appear to the right of the curser, inserting at the beginning instead of the end. At some random point, the cursor starts moving and the letters entered appear to the left as they should.
Either issue is bad by itself. Together they make v10816 quite unacceptable for producing an iOS app.
