Hi all, I've spent some time re-testing the 3'rd party keyboards and the related existing bugs on latest master build. Here's a brief testing summary: Keyboards used: Swype GBoard Fleksy SwiftKey Go Keyboard Scenarios tested: Type "g" => see "google.com" Type "g", hit backspace => see the URL empty Type "go", hit backspace => see "g" and no autocompletion Type "go", hit backspace, type "o" => see "google.com" Type "Final", press predictive word "Final" => see "Final" Type "go." => see "go." Type "g", see "google.com", then tap the input field => the completion is accepted Type "g", see "google.com", then hit "Go" => "google.com" is loaded in the current tab Existing issues: Bug 1194714 - URL bar text input misbehaves with Swype (and other third-party keyboards?) I consider this to be a blocker Bug 1278470 - Typing in third party keyboard predictive typing ruins input This issue affects the use of predictive text in GBoard, Swiftkey and Fleksy and it would be nice to have it fixed. ATM, I'm not sure is if this should be considered a blocker. Bug 1367006 - [Go keyboard] Imputed text gets duplicated when pressing on dot [.] This is specific to Go Keyboard and should not be a blocker. Bug 1209052 - URL autocomplete interferes with Swiftkey (and possibly other custom keyboards) Wasn't able to reproduce it. I'll ask for more details from :sheppy There's one other pretty bad issue with Fleksy. After starting Firefox, the keyboard is completely frozen/unusable for about 30 seconds. This happens only on phones. Safari/other apps are having the same issue, so I didn't file a bug.
