On my epic with physical keyboard open, went to amazon.com. Started entering text in search box on page. Closed keyboard, expect virtual keyboard to show. It didn't. I couldn't even touch the screen to start entering text with virtual keyboard. You need to reload the page, to get the virtual keyboard to come up. See how opera does it for what is expected.

I don't have the Epic, but the latest nightly works fine on another device with hardware keyboard. The virtual keyboard does not show by itself, but clicking on the edit field brings it up - the same as in the other apps.
I'm partially blocked on bug 697773. Found out that the default keyboard does not work due to that bug.
For simiji SKB, this bug still occurs with the latest nightly birch branch. text is uncommitted, so I'm not sure if it's IME or HKB related.
For the default keyboard on the Epic, after typing in the HKB in the URL bar or text field and then closing the HKB; the SKB does not pop up for fennec nightly birch branch nor the default web browser. clicking to regain the focus on the text field or URL bar will pop the SKB up for both fennec nightly birch branch and the web browser. Fennec nightly birch branch will show the SKB after closing the HKB after typing nothing in the URL bar. (This does not occur on the text field however) Opera will end up popping up the SKB up when closing the HKB. Not sure what the best approach would be. I'm partial to leaving the SKB closed until the user ends up tapping on the text field or url bar again. Pinging Madhava and iBarlow.

My personal opinion: when I close the hardware keyboard after typing, it usually means I'm done with text entering, and want to get the keyboard out of the way. If the screen keyboard shows up at that moment, that would be annoying. The real need to switch from HKB to VKB in the middle of typing would be rare, and extra tap on the edit field in this case is not a big deal, and pretty natural. Note: the stock browser does not show a VKB in such case, and I believe it makes sense.

As agreed with Madhava on IRC, not opening VKB when HKB gets closed is the right approach. Reload of the page, as mentioned in the description, is not required anymore - just a tap on the edit field brings up the VKB, so I consider this bug resolved.
