shellinabox - issue #217

"-" key not recognized on main keyboerd, only on number block


Posted on Jan 8, 2013 by Quick Dog

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Whenever you want to type in the browser (already at shellinaboxd login prompt) the "-" key does not work on the main keyboard 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected output is a "-" on the screen. Instead: nothing appears on the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 2.14 running on PiBang (debian wheezy fork). Have same problem on ubuntu from 11.04 on at least. Access to shellinaboxd via MS XP and Firefox 17.01

Please provide any additional information below. Workaround is to use the "-" key on the number block, which works fine. However one tends to use the key on the main block again and again, whcih is quite unnerving, especially since editing files via shellinaboxd can be quite hard due to shellinabox being a bit slow in response.

This issue is due to some changed keycodes introduced in FF15.
