KeyHandler operation in case of bypassing OnPress event

Question

Hello.

I've run into an interesting behavior of KeyPressHandler class.

For example my OnPress handler decides to bypass the incoming key event and sets KeyPressHandler.Continue variable to true. If this happens KeyPressHandler doesn't reset its internal variable pressCounter to zero, and next time the same key event arrives the KeyPressHandler processes it as OnHold event. 

Is it intended operation and user should manually reset pressCounter to zero?

Best regards,
Maxim.

Hi Maxim,

thank you very much for this information. In fact this is an error in the actual implementation of the KeyPressHandler. Of course the handler should always start counting with 0. As workaround you can set the variable pressCounter to 0 when you decide to bypass the event to another handler. We will fix the problem in the next release.
