Drag inserts all touched characters, should only insert first and last chars

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Opening a new bug, pursuant to your bulk update in issue 53.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type two letters that are close together (but not adjacent) in quick 
succession.  Example: T-H-E
2. Android interprets the rapid successive touches on 'T' and 'H' as a single 
drag action.

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
Hacker's keyboard inserts "tyhe" or "tghe" instead of "the".

What version of Hacker's Keyboard are you using? (See top of the app's
Settings menu.) On what phone or tablet?
Hacker's Keyboard: 1.29.1888 a4c1fa499b21 2012-01-13
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Android: 3.2 stock (with Samsung TouchWiz)

If applicable, does this affect the 4-row or 5-row layout, or both? Which
language(s)?
I have only tested with 5-row English.

Please provide any additional information below.
Re-opening this pursuant to issue 53 comment 10 -- are you still planning to 
make the drag insert only the first and last characters?  I think this would be 
preferable to the current behavior of inserting all the intervening characters 
as well.

Thanks!

This should be fixed by revision 1587f85015b7 which replaces the checkbox with 
a dropdown. Try the "Send first key" or "Send first and last" options, this may 
depend on how your touchscreen reports events.

Can you please try version 1.30rc1 (or later) from 
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/downloads/list and let me know if that 
fixes your issue?

This seems to work pretty well and do mostly what I expect.  Thanks a lot for 
fixing this, it's been a pet peeve of mine for a while and makes typing a lot 
easier on my tablet. :)

FYI. revision 2646b469891e disables the slide key hack for popup keyboards to 
prevent inserting unwanted punctuation, this is included in version 1.30rc5.

[bulk bug update]

The changes from the 1.30rcX prerelease series are included in version 1.31 as 
published on Android Market, and this bug should be fixed. If it's still not 
working for you, please reopen or file a new bug. Thanks to everyone who helped 
with finding bugs and testing!

Bulk update - changing "Fixed" to "Verified" for old bugs.

(Background: I'm changing the "Fixed" status to be considered open, the next 
steps in the lifecycle will be the closed states "FixInTest" and "Verified". 
This lets me mark issues as "Fixed" in commit messages without hiding them from 
the issue tracker.)
