1349131 - After some time, native controls don't work on web pages anymore

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1346542

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

This happens for about 2 weeks on Nightly.

After some time, it looks like native controls don't work anymore when interacting with a webpage. This means:

* Android back button doesn't trigger a navigation (the "backward navigation" button in the menu still works)
* native copy and paste actions don't work: I can select a text but pressing "copy" does nothing -- I mean, really nothing, nothing is copied but even the toolbox doesn't disappear.. Pressing paste in a input area doesn't work either.
  They still work in the address bar though.

Restarting the browser makes all of this work again.

I couldn't find an interesting STR. But at each time I noticed the issue when waking up the phone.

This is IMO an important regression because the native back button is really important.

Maybe Aurora is affected too because I think we branched after I noticed the issue first.

Tracking 54/55+ for investigation. Adding Andrei and Ioana from SV to see if they can repro the issue.

Reproducible when enabling "Don't keep activities" in Android's developer options, which I think makes this the same issue as bug 1346542.
