489412 - sip button covers "clear" preferences option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 489510

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

While testing bits for Windows Mobile Fennec Alpha1, I found that in the preferences pane at the bottom where the "clear private data" option is, the sip button (to launch the soft keyboard) blocks the user from reading the preference.

the root cause of this is that the address bar is grabbing focus when panning to the control panel (bug 489412). Naturally, the user will dismiss the keyboard by clicking the sip button, but as long as a text field has focus, we want to keep the SIP button up.  

What isn't entirely clear is why when you click the settings button the focus doesn't leave the address bar, which would dismiss the keyboard and SIP button.  Perhaps this is the problem as what's causing the address bar to grab focus in the first place.

Because of the scenario, I'm marking this bug a dupe of bug 489510, just like bug 489439
