Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

As a note, I did about 8 searches for this bug and couldn't find it, so if it exists, this might be a duplicate.

There are two cases which I have found where displaying the softkeyboard on fennec-maemo causes the field to be hidden and the user doesn't really know what they are typing:

1) with a list of >4 bookmarks, click the bookmark icon, then click the "add a new folder" button.  You will get the softkb displayed, but it covers up the text field for entering the new folder name.

2) in the download manager, there is a search box at the bottom.  Tapping in there to enter a search term will result in the softkb popping up and covering the text box.

this is probably related to bug 479444, but I wouldn't call it a dup just yet.

note: this button at the bottom has gone... it is on top now.

actually items 1 and 2 are not issues anymore with beta3...should this be resolved?

I still don't see any dynamic move of the field where the new folder name input field is located when the soft keyboard pops up.

Also, for number 2, the soft keyboard cuts off a portion of the preferences window on build:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv6l; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090827
Fennec/1.0b4pre 


I'm setting this to blocking-fennec?

Does this kind of bug affect WinMo now too? And if so, has a dupe been filed?

Also, this bug is about folders and bug 518573 is about bookmarks. Folders are gone, so I'm closing this bug.

Yep, agreed as its talking about creating a new bookmark folder. The softkb works for me when managing the naming fields in folders populated by weave.
