[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] b.zill:
Keboard bugs:

It seems to be only in landscape mode and in multi-line text editing windows, but independently of the app, so it maybe an AOSP keyboard bug:

Image 1 below: blob exactly over the cursor instead of below

Image 2 below: blobs too high, not under the selected text

Could someone with a different LOS device please check, if the behaviour is present on other LOS ports as well?

Profile bug:

This was the case here as well before I created a different profile (without even using it). Then the navbar appears again, although “hide navbar” is still enabled. Disabling and enabling makes it hide again.

Yes, maybe, but the reason of having profiles with restricted/other functions is to secure a device, not to mess up settings of the main profile ...

Another profile bug: When adding a new profile, chosing “new profile” instead of “new user” does not behave as expected. It should add a new profile of the main user which allows to restrict access to only some of the apps, but keep the rest of the profile (main user settings, installed apps, user files) as it is. Compare the help text on this function: “you can restrict the access to apps and content of your account” (translated).

So, I expect that a restricted user profile still uses the same security settings (app allowances, firewall, disabled services/apps) and apps can access their presets (app profiles, bookmarks, mail accounts) and the main user has access to his files.

Instead, “new profile” seems to add a different user (sphere?), exactly like “new user”, with no access to the given user files of any of the allowed apps. In fact, I do not see any difference from creating a completely new user profile.

Thus, the main reason for using a reduced profile is not met: Handing over the device to others to just do one particular job, e. g. taking pictures, controlling an external device, working with an office application, quickly allowing children to (only) play a certain game, using (only) a specific app.

Plus, restriction of the use of system apps (including browser, mail, settings) is not possible, but that maybe intended by Google.

Could someone please verify against another LOS device or tell me, what I am doing wrong?

USB MTP bug:

All of this does not help (already tried before). The point is: The USB drivers are correctly installed, the device is seen, directories can be accessed, the files can be seen, uploads to the device are working. BUT: downloading of files and editing (deleting/renaming) directories does not work, and often the connection gets lost. There are no error messages.

So, I assume a functional problem on the device. The files are not delivered, MTP commands of the PC seem to be not applied. I suspect that this bug is related to the USB tethering bug where the switch cannot even be activated in the settings.

Does anybody of you have USB tethering working (Win/Mac/Linux)? What happens, if you connect a PC via USB and switch the USB tethering setting to “enabled”?

Thanks.

EDIT: TWRP obviously demands different MTP and ADB drivers than the Motorola drivers. Windows claims that MTP drivers are not available for this device. Maybe it's only about a mismatch in the internal USB device name?
