(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect)

Description

[garret.rus]

Attachment: keyboard.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.26 Safari/537.36 OPR/38.0.2190.0 (Edition developer)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open attachment
2 [review]. Type something
3. Press button "add word"
4. Continue to input

This bug reproduced only on limited list of keyboards and requires some kind of autocomplete or T9. This keybaords also does not trigger keydown/keypress events, only double "input".
Looks like keyboards don't know about input changes from js, and they continues to edit the old value.

Attachment is similair to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764817, current bug can be reproduced there. It's not a duplicate


Actual results:

In step 4 keyboard typing erases text entered by a script in step 3


Expected results:

Input in step 4 should continue edit text from step 3

What specific keyboards or devices have you reproduced this on. The couple devices I have near by do not reproduce this behavior.

I've tested it with samsung galaxy s2/s6, if I remebmer properly. I can say more clearly in the middle of the next week - this devices is obtainable on my work.

It was default keyboards for this devices, but requires enabling "T9" in keyboard settings.
I know, there was some other devices with default keyboards, that reproduces that behaviour without changing keyboard settings.

Today reproduced it with samsung galaxy s2 (4.0.4)/s3 (4.3)/s6 (5.1.1). All 3 with default samsung keyboards
s2/s6 requires extra steps: after focus the input, go into keyboard setting via gear button and double toggle t9 - without that, keyboard autocompletion do not work. After losing focus from the input, autocompletion will stop again.
In s3 autcompletion works all time

Also tested on nexus 6, all words as expected (with autocmpletion)
