Bug Description

Ubuntu Touch r330

1. At a noisy party, launch Contacts.
2. Choose Add.
3. In the "First name" field, type "alicia".
4. Hear the person you're adding correct you: her name is actually Felicia.
5. Delete the field contents, either by backspacing or using the clear button.
6. Type "felicia".

What happens:
3. "Alicia"
6. "felicia"

What should happen:
3. "Alicia"
6. "Felicia"

This might be a toolkit bug. When a field is in initial-capital mode, this should persist even if you mess up the initial attempt. The way of exiting the mode should be to press Shift.

This is a bug with ubuntu-keyboard auto-caps code. It should reset the state of auto-caps (i.e. enable it) if a field has been cleared.

The same problem happens with subsequent sentences in a field where multiple sentences are the norm -- for example, the Notes app, or the message field in the Messages app. I have no way of telling whether that's the same bug or a different one.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-keyboard - 0.99.trunk.phablet2+14.10.20140527-0ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-keyboard (0.99.trunk.phablet2+14.10.20140527-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Michael Sheldon ]
  * Modify the build system so that presage databases are only updated
    when manually requested, instead of during every compile.
  * Add user input to the word ribbon as the first entry, allowing for
    autocomplete suggestions to be overridden. Use the selection of that
    entry as the cue to add words to the user spell check dictionary and
    filter presage's predictions based on what words are in the spell
    check dictionary. (LP: #1318808)
  * Re-evaluate the state of autocaps when the user is deleting
    characters and when the cursor position changes to the beginning of
    a field (LP: #1312329)

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced
