Typing text with successive uppercase characters

[ondrejhanslik]

I have a UITextView with UITextAutocapitalizationTypeSentences
I am trying to type text ABC.

Normally it works but sometimes I get AbC or ABc instead. I guess there is a collision when the text view sets the keyboard to lowercase but KIF typer still sees it as uppercase.

I have tried several workarounds - I tried to split the text by [A-Z] and then entered every sequence separately, inserting long delays. That doesn't work. Sometimes the uppercase letter is not typed at all. I guess the problem lies in the small delay between tapping "shift" and tapping the letter key. 0.05 delay is long enough for letters on the same keyplane but it's not enough for changing keyplanes.

Now with iOS 7:

Keyboard typing attempt n. 1 (written text: "4qyaQp0a", expected: "CR16-100A")
Keyboard typing attempt n. 2 (written text: ".Rq6-100", expected: "CR16-100A")
Keyboard typing attempt n. 3 (written text: ".CR16-100A", expected: "CR16-100A")
Keyboard typing attempt n. 4 (written text: "crq6-100a", expected: "CR16-100A")

Not seeing the same problem on my local computer, only in jenkins builds - the animations probably take a bit longer there.

@ondrejhanslik Could you find a workaround for this? So far I wasn't able to find something reliable

No, it must be fixed in frank core - increasing the delay after a keyplane switch.
