Mac UIInput issues

[Vesuvian]

Hey guys

I'm having trouble getting text input on Mac devices. The problems range from being unable to type into UIInputs to being unable to delete/backspace inputs.

I've done some googling and I've hit a number of threads from the past couple years:

The general consensus seems to be that it's a problem with Unity, and that a mythical fix will eventually arrive. Unfortunately, given the age of the problem, I don't have much faith in this being patched any time soon.

Was anyone ever able to find a fix or workaround for these problems?

Thanks,
Ves

What's your version of Unity and NGUI?

[Vesuvian]

We're currently on Unity Pro 4.5.0f6 and NGUI 3.5.9

And I'm sorry, I can't believe I left this out, but this was specifically happening in webplayer builds. Tested in both Chrome and Safari.

I wonder if the fix for this was lost at some point... Can you submit a bug report to Unity to remind them of the problem?
