Swiping away the OSK doesn’t remove focus from the current TextField/TextArea

[Olivier Tilloy]

(not sure whether that’s a bug in the UITK or in the OSK, so filing it here, please re-assign accordingly)

See the attached QML test file, to be run on a phone.

Clicking either the TextField or the TextArea gives it active focus, and the OSK appears.
Swiping the OSK away to dismiss it should remove focus from the current TextField/TextArea, but apparently it doesn’t.
As a consequence, tapping the previously focused field should bring the OSK back up, but it doesn’t.

That’s with build saucy-43, qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin 0.1.46+13.10.20130714-0ubuntu1, maliit-framework 0.99.trunk.phablet2 and maliit-keyboard 0.99.trunk.phablet1.

Note that a number of core applications are currently not bitten by this bug because they use a custom KeyboardRectangle component, originally written by Gustavo for the telephony-app, that explicitly removes the focus from the currently focused item when the keyboard is hidden (see e.g. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Components/Extras/Browser/KeyboardRectangle.qml).

  * When the OSK is hidden, explicitly remove focus from the current
    text area (workaround for bug #1201400). (LP: #1201400, #1200365)
