With MIR enabled, pressing power key when a text field is selected inserts a * character

[Richard Huddie]

20130927

TEST CASE:
1. Ensure MIR is enabled on the device:
     adb shell touch /home/phablet/.display-mir
     adb reboot
1. Load messaging app and create a new message. Make sure the message text field is selcted with the OSK showing
2. Press the power key (device will go into standby mode)
3. Press power key again to power device back up, and go back to the messaging app.

EXPECTED RESULT:
The message text should be as it was before the power key was pressed

ACTUAL RESULT:
A * character has been inserted into the message.

This can be reproduced anywhere when the OSK is displayed. e.g. Notes, creating a contact etc.

I very much doubt this is anything in unity8, unity-mir or ubuntu-keyboard. This is most probably just a * character delivered instead of PowerKey due to missing/incorrect mapping in qtubuntu.

definitely not an osk bug
