731604 - The Next button is not present on the landscape vkb for login pages when focusing text fields

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 720475

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Feher]

Fennec/13.0a1 2012-02-29
Device: Motorola Droid Pro ( Android 2.3.3)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec.
2. Go to a page with a login and password field like gmail.com.
3. Put the phone in landscape mode and tap in the login field to bring up the vkb.
4. Enter some text and observe the vkb.

Expected results:
There is a next button to navigate between the different text fields regardless of their type.

Actual results:
The Next button does not exist. Only a "Go" button exists, which tries to login in using just the username and no password when pressed.

Notes:
-- The issue is not reproducible on the Android Browser. On the Android browser a different keyboard is opened with a Next and Space button in place of the Space button is opened when there are more then one text field present.

This bug is pretty bad.

On ICS, the stock Browser and Chrome Beta bring up half-height VKBs in landscape mode. Their VKBs do not obscure the HTML form.

However, I see "Go" buttons, not "Next" buttons. And their "Go" buttons have the same problem as Fennec's, BUT is not as serious a problem because the HTML form is not obscured (allowing the user to manually tap focus to the gmail password field).
