Keyboard Typing Tests failing on CI

keyboard typing is starting before field has focus and first 3 letters were truncated.

[Corey Goldberg (coreygoldberg)]

to run against trunk:
$ python -m autopilot.run run autopilot.tests.functional.test_input_stack.InputStackKeyboardTypingTests.test_text_typing

[Corey Goldberg (coreygoldberg)]

 the proper fix (IMHO) is to ensure it's synchronized/focused by using the 'focused_type' context manager. which is exactly what the next set of tests do. Since it's already tested and synchronized in 'test_typing_with_contextmanager' tests, I'm not sure adding a sleep or coming up with good synchronization method in this test case is doing anything more for us here. thoughts?

I added:

self.assertThat(text_edit.focus, Eventually(Equals(True)))

... to ensure focus

This bug was fixed in the package autopilot - 1.4+14.04.20140408-0ubuntu1

  * Fix flake8 errors in trunk.
  * Make the make-coverage.sh script exit non-0 when tests fail.
  * Don't abort print_tree when we catch the StateNotFoundError
    exception. (LP: #1276672)
  * Tweak the vis tool so the splitter between the tree widget and the
    properties pane cannot be completely dragged to one side or the
    other. (LP: #1281360)
  * Fix functional test that was very dependant on timing. (LP:
    #1301005)
  * Make logger objects within autopilot private.
