Bug 1163

Summary: SDL_TEXTINPUT not being received on iPhoneOS
Product: SDL Reporter: Forest Hale <lordhavoc>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: major    
Priority: P2    
Version: HG 2.0   
Hardware: iPhone/iPod touch   
OS: iOS (All)   

Description Forest Hale 2011-03-08 17:26:56 UTC 
The virtual keyboard on iPhoneOS works great at delivering SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP events to an SDL_Window, however no SDL_TEXTINPUT events are delivered.

The unicode field on the key events is 0 (as expected on key events to SDL_Window).

Imperfect workarounds are possible in applications, but not desired.

Behavior observed in Darkplaces engine in experimental iphoneos support (SVN is at svn://svn.icculus.org/twilight/trunk/darkplaces and important code is vid_sdl.c ).
