If we cannot get a fix ASAP, bug 1485063 should be backed out then.

Also reproducible for pasting text.

[Tested with:]
Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 64.0a1 (2018-09-13)
Operating System: Google Pixel (Android 9) - 1080 x 1920 pixels (~441 ppi pixel density), Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android 8.0.0) - Resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels (~534 ppi pixel density)

Ryan this is a rather bad regression but the patch set for bug 1485063 looks large. What do you think about backing it out and respinning Android nightlies?

Comment 6

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Agreed, that's pretty brutal. Backout pushed and respins coming momentarily.
