limited input (eg, no OSK) in pay-ui

[Jamie Strandboge]

If I try to purchase Cut the Rope in the store, Pay UI comes up. If I select paypal then Buy Now I am taken to the paypal site in a webview (may have to retry several times). If I get to paypal on the first try, I am able to enter my paypal information into the paypal site.

However, currently there is a bug in accessing paypal and a timeout is reached. This will prompt to 'Retry'. If this happens, once you get to the paypal site (it might take several retries), I cannot tap an input field to move the cursor and bring up the OSK. If I let the screen blank and then I unlock it, I can tap into fields to move the cursor, but the OSK does not come up. I also tried sideswiping to another app (eg messaging), invoking the OSK and then going back-- this allowed me to tap to move the cursor but still no OSK.

It was conjectured on irc that this might be a Mir focus issue (perhaps because this seems to only happen after being prompted to Retry?). Perhaps this is related to bug #1395724 or bug #1394645?.
