Hi,
Here is a current update on the 0.2.7 blockers...if you can help, please DO!
The keyboard input bug was a blocker too. Luckly i had the email from bugzilla. ----- http://reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=657
Summary: Shift sticks when selecting text with the arrow keys. Product: ReactOS Version: 0.3.0-SVN Platform: VMWare 4 OS/Version: ReactOS Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: Drivers AssignedTo: ros-bugs@reactos.com ReportedBy: waxdragon@ameritech.net
VMWare 4.5.2 ReactOS r16251 (this is not a recent bug, I think 15xxx has it)
1. Boot ROS 2. Open notepad 3. Type "This sucks" 4. Press and hold Shift and use the arrow keys to select the previous text (not the numberic keypad*) 5. Type "This sucks" again, notice it is in UPPERCASE and backspace no longer works
* Numlock seems to affect this. I boot vmware with numlock off, and this bug occurs. If turn num lock on before typing, imput works as expected. It's Shift that gets stuck because capslock Shifts them back to lowercase, but the numbers come out as ! @ # $ still. The capslock - arrow keys interaction is also discussed in bug 617 -----
There were some other comments on this bug, basically keycode dumps showing how the arrow keys are emulated my qemu and vmware.
Has anyone seen tinus?
