Vivaldi Does Not Recognize Shift Key On Physical Keyboard
-
My current phone is a Unihertz Titan. More information here:
Anyways, it has a physical shift key in the upper left hand corner. The problem is that Vivaldi does not seem to recognize this shift key as letters stay lower cased even after pressing this key.
It should be noted that other apps I have installed to my phone do recognize this key such as my text messaging app QUIK, Amaze File Manager, RoboForm Password Manager, OpenContacts, etc. Currently, Vivaldi is one of only two apps on my phone that does not recognize the shift key.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might get Vivaldi to recognize the shift key? Or is this simply an issue that will never get fixed?

@CodeProgrammer Does it work on Chrome browser?

May a curse fall upon you for making me install Google Chrome on my phone, but yes; it works just fine:

@CodeProgrammer I probably deserve that curse, sorry about that. But yeah, this confirms it’s a Vivaldi problem. You can issue a bug report. No idea how hard it might be to tackle and whether they would need access to this exact device, or whether some other Android with keyboard would suffice. Could take a while.

Update: For the two other people in this forum who use the Unihertz Titan, I found a workaround. As it turns out, if you HOLD the shift key while pressing the letter you want capitalized, that letter will be capitalized. This also works for multiple letters in a row (as the double tap for all caps also does not work). While this can get a bit awkward with letters on the left side of the screen (but especially the letter "Q"), it's still more efficient than using the on-screen keyboard. With that being said, I would still like an official bug fix from Vivaldi; but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Thanks, it is still unconfirmed.
I added a link here, not many testers/developers can test this as you mentioned.
You can check with the snapshot, sometimes a fix of a different bug fix other issues, too.You can ask about the status of a report in the bug status thread:
