Description

[Uwe Kaminski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060308 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.11
Build Identifier: Maemo 4.3.1 (5-2008.43-7)

The virtual keyboard of Maemo OS is not show if user select the awsomebar. This doesn't happen if a input field on a webpage is selected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start fennec
2. select the awesome bar by touching it with your finger
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The virtual keyboard is shown

This test was made on a N800 tablet. It should be reproducible with an N810 if the hardware keyboard is 'closed' (not slided out)


Workaround:
3. Go to the application selector of the OS
4. select fennec --> the virtual keyboard will come up in front of fennec!
