(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect, P3)

Description

[reinhart_previano]

Attachment: Problem screenshot A

While typing using some Android keyboards (such as the default Sony, LG and Samsung keyboards) with word suggestions/text predictions turned on, The first letter is inserted to the end. See attached screenshot A and https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/7589 for details.

Next, in some occasions, it is impossible to select entered text inside some text fields. See screenshot B and https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/5564 for details.

Both bugs occur in some websites with long textfields such as in Twitter and Quora. I decided to report these bugs together as they might be connected to each other.

Both issues confirmed on the latest Nightly 61 build (2018-03-13).
HTC Desire 820 (Android 6.0.1) - HTC Sense Input keyboard
Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android 7.0)- Samsung and Gboard keyboards.

This issue is also confirmed in current nightly builds of Firefox Focus, which uses GeckoView instead of Android's default WebView.

Does this still reproduce on the latest Firefox Nightly 66?

For the problem in Screenshot A, both Firefox 64 and Nightly 66 shows no issues with Samsung Keyboard's text prediction turned on. It still need some testing from other keyboards (e.g. Gboard, AOSP, SwiftKey) before it can be marked as fixed.

For the problem in Screenshot B, this issue still persists (tested on Quora and Telegra.ph).

There is an additional issue, when typing Korean Hangul characters as fast as possible causes the entered character to be inputted twice; That also seems to be fixed in both browsers.

Screen A and Screen B are another issue.  I think that we need investigate web site script since this cannot reproduce simply contentedtiable element.

Sorry for question again. Could you still reproduce this on Firefox Preview?

No, it works now.

Thanks for the ping.

This can probably be closed.
