InputScope for TextBox not working anymore? - textbox

In my WinRT/C# app I have a XAML file with various input boxes (TextBox). Each textbox has an InputScope property defined, thus the on-screen keyboard should display individually (e.g. for InputScope="Number").
In the Win8 Release Preview the InputScope yielded the correct result and showed different keyboard layouts. Now I've switched to the Win8 RTM and this seems not to work anymore. Regardless to the InputScope property value, the on-screen keyboard layout is everytime the same (default) layout.
Somebody who can reproduce this or can give me a hint how to fix this?

I just did the following test...
<TextBox InputScope="Number"/>
and it worked correctly. Also tried it with several other inputscopes and they all worked correctly as well.

Firemonkey with Memo Classes and Landscape orientation for Android

There are many demonstration units provided by both Embarcadero and other third parties for auto-scrolling on showing the Android virtual keyboard.
However non work correctly when working in landscape mode. Even if you manage to get the top of the memo visible, changing line will render the control out of sight, or you try and stay with the caret position and find the offset is wrong, manually correcting this causes issues with different resolutions.
Is there any article / component / code example, that anyone has seen, which solves this problem. I would opine that something so simple should be already resolved in the examples with RAD Studio, but alas it is not.
I am using native controls but am more than happy to switch back to Firemonkey styled controls if required.
Thank you in advance.

IOS: Text Selection in WKWebView (WKSelectionGranularityCharacter)

I've got an app that uses a web view where text can be selected. It's long been an annoyance that you can't select text across a block boundary in UIWebView. WKWebView seems to fix this with a property on its configuration: selectionGranularity. One of the possible values is WKSelectionGranularityCharacter:
Selection endpoints can be placed at any character boundary.
Sounds great! Exactly what I need. Except that when I set that in my web view, I often can no longer select text at all. What is going on? Is there something else I need to set? Has anyone figured this out?
Update: I've figured out the following bugs:
When there is more than one WKWebView in an app with selectionGranularity set to WKSelectionGranularityCharacter, only the most recent one to load can select text. I've filed this as bug 18441138.
If there is a click handler attached to an element inside the body in the HTML content of a WKWebView whose selectionGranularity is set to WKSelectionGranularityCharacter, text selection doesn't work inside that element. I've filed this as bug 18440833.
Text selection fails in the WKWebView after you've entered edit mode on a UITextView somewhere else in the app until the WKWebView reloads. I've filed this as bug 18468405.
Has anyone worked around any of these?
These and other issues are all fixed as of iOS 13.
There are several known bugs that are still not fixed.
You can execute JavaScript to get selected text as a workaround.
window.getSelection().toString()

iPad text input and text selecting not working properly

This will be difficult to explain so I won't paste any code.
I'm implementing a wysiwyg editor on my site called wysihtml5 and there are several issues when selecting the textarea/editor with the iPad. On a desktop browser, all is fine, the text can be selected, edited, pasted etc. But on the iPad multpiple issues occur:
Can't tap anywhere in the text to move the cursor there
If I manually move the cursor, all of a sudden I can't type anything anymore
Tapping outside of the texteditor doesn't bring the keyboard down
Basically I'm just hoping there's someone who has had similiar experiences with iPad cursor not behaving correctly in text input fields and what possible solutions there might be. I'm stuck and have no idea how to debug this.
Did you use touch event? iOS has a bug: you can't input in editable iframe if you are listening(or had listened) any touch event(touchstart, touchmove...), I tested this bug occurs even you listen other elements but iframe itself. yes, it's a serious bug, you can check out:

CodeBar component disappearing when sending to Printer

I'm trying to develop a report in Delphi XE4 and Report Builder 15.01 using CodeBar component.
When I print to screen the print is normal, but when I send that print to the printer, the codebar component disappear from the print, leaving just a blank space in its place.
I'm not changing its properties in runtime.
What could it be?
Edit:
The CodeBar component only disappear when the device is "Printer", if I change it to PDF for example, it prints correctly.
Edit2:
I have found another behavior: the Codebar doesn't disappear, it creates another codebar inside, with the same properties, but just visually. I could post images to make thing much clearer but i don't have anough rep points. lol.
Edit3:
I have tryed the version 14 and for my surprise the problem doesn't exist. I guess it's a bug from RB.
Well, after changing the version to 14 the problem has been solved. Not only this problem but some others layout problems.

TToolbar incompatible with TForm.DoubleBuffered?

I am using Delphi XE3.
When I create a new VCL project and drop a TToolbar on it, everything works fine - except when I activate Form1.DoubleBuffered.
From that moment on, drawing of the toolbar is broken - in designtime, it's either black, transparent, or parts of the IDE (statusbar, toolbar, etc.) are copied into it. It changes between these options when I click on it and when I change to source code (F12) and back.
In runtime, it's always black.
With DrawingStyle=dsGradient, everything works as expected. Switching back to dsNormal breaks it again.
Deactivating Form1.DoubleBuffered repairs it.
Any hints how to work around that issue?
In my opinion the solution is to set TForm.DoubleBuffered to False. Using a value of True causes all sorts of other problems. This property worked reasonably well before XP themes, but since their arrival, using TForm.DoubleBuffered has not been viable, in my view.
In addition to the problems you have encountered, I've come across lots of painting flaws when using the Windows Basic theme. I know that's not mainstream, but I happen to see that a lot with remote access. And there's more. When you double buffer a form you stop the theme animation from working. For example, a default button pulses to indicate that it is the default button.
If you get resize flickering without double buffering the form, use the ideas from my answer to another question. From the comments it seems that the flickering you wish to combat is in a paint box. I obviously don't know the details, but my experience and instincts say that you should be able to deal quite easily with that flickering at a local level. There surely should be no need for the global form wide double buffering.
As reported in this article, When not to use DoubleBuffered, some controls like TToolBar and TRichEdit don't work well with the DoubleBuffered property set to true.
The reason be be found in documentation, TWinControl.DoubleBuffered, where some WinControls can't draw themselves on a temporary bitmap (as happens when DoubleBuffered is true).
One workaround can be to put the TToolBar on a TPanel.
