1901835 - Typing into search field on canadiantire.ca during pageload erases and rearranges keyboard input

Status: NEW

(GeckoView :: IME, defect, P3)

Description

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

Attachment: screen recording

Steps to reproduce:

1. With your Android phone, try to find, as quickly as you can, a lawnmower on https://www.canadiantire.ca/ . Time is of the essence.
2. Try to resist the temptation to chuck your phone into the nearest garbage can.

More seriously:

1. Open a new tab in Firefox for Android.
2. Go to https://www.canadiantire.ca/
3. Wait for the search field to appear.
4. Once the search field appears, quickly tap on it.
5. As soon as the keyboard appears, immediately start writing the word "lawnmower".

Expected results:
The word "lawnmower" should be in the search field.

Actual results:
Random garbage appears in the searchfield. I've had the following results:

• "ler"
• "loer"
• "wer"
• "lowernmnlal" (no idea where the extra Ls came from)

See the attached screen recording to get a sense of the experience.

I don't know, but we have to debug web site to investigate root cause. It depends on content script since this content has some event listener for input and keydown.
