OSK is not always shown when entering a text input field on a web page

[Pat McGowan]

While using the webbrowser on Manta frequently ended up trying to input to a text field without the osk appearing. It was not consistent. Refreshing the page I think always cleared it.

can always reproduce on gmail.com
try to compose a new message, the focus goes to the "To" field but the keyboard is not visible

[Thomas Moenicke (thomas-moenicke)]

issue seen only when focus set by Javascript

[David Barth (dbarth)]

It worked once in gmail, and then when I tried to compose a new message I couldn't get the keyboard, either by default, or by clicking on any of the input fields or text box.

An upstream bugreport has been filed against qtwebkit:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34013

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Upstream bug was closed as invalid.
Our problem is we cannot manually focus the field once javascript has done so.
Check if this behavior exists on Oxide.

[Bill Filler (bfiller)]

We need to re-check this behavior once oxide lands support for inputMethods. If it is still an issue with oxide we'll need to dig deeper.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

The workaround so far is to touch another part of the webui, to unfocus the textfield, then touch it back to set focus to the textfield, which then normally brings up the OSK.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is rosa maria really working on this? I don't think so?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Ah, no

The plan is to retest fully on 5.2.1 and the new container with Oxide where we no longer see the issue.

[Bill Filler (bfiller)]

this problem is solved with the move to oxide

saucy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the saucy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

M10 tablet, OTA11
None of the text fields @ 3 work.. E.g. Postcode or search on

This is not 'sometimes' it is every time.

It works here on my M10 running rc-proposed. That sounds similar to bug #1589130 though, please add details to that bug report instead of recycling an old one, thanks!
