I applied all outstanding patches from upstream and rebuilt maliit-framework, but still experiencing the same behavior on device. I decided to try running maliit on the desktop to see what the behavior is there. I was able to get it to work (barely) but enough to test the behavior and it appears the key events are not making it to the webbrowser-app.

Here is how I tested on the desktop:
- install maliit-framework, ubuntu-keyboard-english
- export QT_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet
- maliit-server
- from another window, also export QT_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet
- run webbrowser-app http://m.imdb.com (don't move the window at all)
- click in the search field
- you'll see a white rectangle at the bottom of the screen where the OSK should be showing, but it's not displaying correctly
- start clicking in the white rectangle and characters will start getting displayed in the search field,
- you don't see the drop down of suggestions being displayed, which means the site is not recieving key press events
- if you do anything else in the browser that causes the keyboard to change it crashes the app somewhere in maliit

@olivier would be good for you to do this same test with your instrumented code to make sure we're not getting the events on the desktop as well
