The number buttons on my RCU carry auxiliary labels "ABC", "DEF", etc. These buttons work somewhat when editing the names of recordings. I can always get the first letter of the label, e.g., "a", "d", "g", "j", "m", and so on. However, when I press the same button again, VDR will usually interpret it as a "cursor right" event. Key-repeat events are ignored.
For instance, when I start editing the string "Euronews" by pressing the Right button in the "Edit timer" menu, it will display as follows:
Right-> [E]uronews 2-> [A]uronews 2-> Au[a]onews
If I keep a longer pause between the two keypresses of the button "2", the string will change to "Aaronews".
While testing this, I once got the correct behaviour: [A]uronews -> [B]uronews -> [C]uronews. Could the code forget to initialize some variable properly? Am I the only one who is experiencing this?
In case it matters, I'm using LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.iso-8859-1, and the remote control unit is driven by the <linux/input.h> driver of cx88-input.c. The key-press and key-repeat events are delivered by the vdr-softdevice plugin, which gets them via the linuxinput driver of DirectFB. Key-release events are not delivered.
