entering IP, back arrow doesn't delete
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:25:55 UTC
When entering an IP for a remote library the back arrow isn't quite right. It does change the number back to 0 if the number is selected, but cannot go back to delete a prior entered number / octet. I know the rewind button goes back, but in all other network entering UI similar to this the back button will delete and go back. r6947MP
IP entry might be tough now that a lot of our textinput code behavior has been reworked.
If this is an 7.4 P1 bug, then is it also an MP bug (since ip adress entry could occur there?). On an IP address window, the number can't be deleted, under the current model. An alternative that fits the model a bit bit would be that delete reverts the value to 0 and move back one position, but that is then inconsistent with other input widgets, if only slightly. The user can still use the arrows to navigate, and will hopefully discover that, since it is the only way to move around.
Just played around with IP entry for remote libraries. It is indeed broken. Everything works and looks fine, except that the back button does not delete. Which is, of course, a pretty major problem. I can't replicate the cases where you encounter IP entry during setup (you have to get into DHCP failure mode or other weird places for this I think). But if that's broken in the MP firmware, that's not good. The user won't be able to figure out how to delete improperly entered characters in this case... in other words, what Tom said.
I think bug 10352 is related to that. It deals with restrictions when overwriting an existing IP address from left to right that might not be obvious.
