[Bug 1501004] Re: Comma inserted when pressing AltGr or Alt key in evolution to/cc input fields

 

I figured that the unexpected comma, is actually inserted on purpose when the "CC" or "TO" input fields get focus.
Though it might be a bit surprising that Evolution inserts a comma automatically (even when no valid mail exists in the input field), that is actually a feature.

The root cause of this bug, seems to be that the input fields get
unfocused for a short time and then get focus again.

I found several other bugs related to this issue, which might be caused
by the exact same bug:

Bug #1233458  (New)

Title:
  Comma inserted when pressing AltGr or Alt key in evolution to/cc input
  fields

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  This bug was originally reported in Bug #943104 on Ubuntu 12.04, but it is still present in Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf (development branch)

  Both alt and altgr produces an unexpected comma character when pressed
  after msc. characters in the "to" and "cc" input fields in evolution
  mail.  I am using Danish keyboard with nodeadkey, bus as described in
  Bug #943104 this also effect other localizations.

   I still haven't been able to reproduce this in any other programs
  than evolution, so maybe the bug should be reported on evolution
  instead.
