Android 2.3.2 and earlier issue

Noticed on US-phone mask input. Plugin sets cursor before the digit on inserting special symbols like '(', ')' or '-'.

Hi @nextcaller this is a known issue (#102 #63). Its a problem with how android older versions fires those events. I'm not putting all my energy/attention on fixing this problem because I think this is an issue that might be gone as long as mobile devices evolve. The default Android 2.3.x browsers it's like the IE6 of mobile browsers. It's just a matter of time to this issue be gone for good.

@nextcaller do you know an % of how many android users actually use android 2.3.x?

[igorescobar]

I just figured that 81% percent of android's users are using android 4.0.0+. Just 19% are using 2.3 or older.

@nextcaller I think that in about one year or so this issue might be gone for good ;-)

The same issue occurs on HTC oneX android 4.0.2 native browser.

Same problem with v.1.5.7?

[sreeyashu]

On Android HTC one it got fixed by applying "-webkit-user-modify:read-write-plaintext-only", But on Android 2.3.6 it occurs the same problem with an updated v.1.5.7

My main goal is not Android 2.x. I'm trying to fix the issue with Android 4.x. Give me a few more days.

[sreeyashu]

Ok I will wait for the fix on Android 2.x

Sorry, i don't offer decision to solve the problem, but i want to offer just close the issues as "won't fix" because http://caniuse.com/usage_table.php as we can see android 2.3 has very small part < 0.5%

@Areks I'm starting to think that there is no fix to this problem. It's a browser issue and there is not much to do in this case... but... I'm always open to suggestions. I want to fix it... I just don't know how.
