Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1066515 +++

This is a spin off from bug 1066515 comment 79.

Since Keyboard.jsm remembers only the last registered keyboard ID (_keyboardID) and receiveMessage() ignores the message if it the ID is unmatched, so whenever there are multiple active keyboards the message could pssibly be dropped.

STR:
As an example, if test_bug1043828.html deactivate keyboardB, and tries to getText from keyboardA, the test will simply timed out since Keyboard:GetText is ignored.

When gaia is running, we only allow one keyboard app to be active and prevent other keyboard apps to interact with Keyboard.jsm.
It should not be bug.
