1420490 - Mobile keyboard attributes being ignored in Firefox.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Build ID: 20170418123315
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Disabled Autocorrect on my on-screen android keyboard. Used an android mobile device to access a web page with the following element using Firefox 57:

<td data-recordid="NEWID" colspan="2" id="NEWID" style="font:18px arial; word-wrap:break-word; width:360px; height:50px;" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false" autocorrect="none" autocapitalize="none" contenteditable="true"><br></td>


Actual results:

Android keyboard automatically replaces text when pressing spacebar. Spacebar does not insert space, unless pressed multiple times - resulting incorrectly autocorrected  text.


Expected results:

Android keyboard should ignore spelling errors, ignore spell-check, and produce spaces on-screen when space-bar is pressed.

This has been occurring since as early as Firefox 53. 
This behaviour does not occur when using Firefox 47 on the same devices.

Those are *non-standard* attributes only supported by some browsers, so this is not a bug in Firefox.
