Build: os11

• insert cursor does not update position

The insertion handle should either update position to match any cursor movement, or perhaps more easily, just disappear when the user starts typing/navigating with a keyboard/OSK/Screen-bezel-game-keys.

• insert handle is right handle

Insert handle is 'cursor-handle-bottom', confirmed this is just an issue in Write, the rest of build 11 seems to use the correct insertion handle.

• there are no left/right handles shown for a selection

If you switch away to a different view, and back again, the handles are correctly drawn, but any user interaction with the canvas will loose them again.

Also noticed that:

• Write still has self.abiword_canvas.set_word_selections set to true making tapping to deselect, or tapping to just place the cursor somewhere much more tricky (usually a selection is triggered)

• Text selections can still be dragged via touch, making it very easy to rip-up and mess-up your document accidentally

Testing in Build 12, Write-83:

• insert cursor does not update position when typing
• insert handle is still showing as the right/bottom handle, it should be cursor-handle-insert
• FIXED: left and right selection handles are now drawing when you make a selection, note however that dragging either one of them leaves a trail of un erased handles until you pause the dragging movement.

It seems to me like the patch in ​http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13410#c5 isn't included yet, that patch contains all latest fixes done in this regard, and also updated the insertion cursor style details to match with what has been committed in gtk+ master (the style class used changed slightly, insert-cursor vs insertion-cursor)

From what I see sugar-artwork did update, so the previously used class name isn't matched anymore in the theme, hence falling back to the selection-end handle

This is my fault olpc5 rpm was not included because I uploaded it to the wrong directory.

I have created the repo ​http://git.sugarlabs.org/olpc-abiword-rpm to have a control of the changes included in every rpm version.

olpc6 abiword rpms uploaded to public_rpms directory with the latest patches from garnacho
