Opera Mini/Java Text Entry

acwyau · #1 (**permalink**) 05-13-2008, 12:17 PM

I love Opera Mini and 4.1 is running flawlessley for me, especially browsing PPCGeeks. I do most of my posting directly from my Touch and one thing has always bugged me about entering text. Whenever I need to put a longer than usual post via Opera Mini (like this one), the on-screen keyboard covers the text and I have to toggle the keyboard on and off to make sure I am not making any text entry mistakes. Is there any way to get scrollbars on the text entry screen so that it keeps moving up as you enter text? Do I need a new java manager?

Does no one else have this problem? Or am I just too wordy when it comes to posting on forum sites?

Well on My Opera Mini and Java, I have to type using the touch keyboard. It wont let me type with the keyboard.

Yeah same here, not much you can do about that. That's probably the one major drawback of having a onscreen keyboard. Oh well...

I suppose it is something I'll have to live with until a midlet manager is released that supports scroll bars in the text entry screen. However, I was pretty sure I had seen a java implementation that did have it at some point, but it didn't work as well as jbed in all other respects.
