624333 - form helper doesn't allow input while keyboard is showing

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

trying to log into twitter to authorize an app, i ran into this problem:

at the login form, both the keyboard and the form helper were visible. my name was in the form autocomplete for the username field, so i pressed on it. no text showed up in the input field. i tried it a bunch of times, and noticed some issues with messed-up background color of the input field, sometimes it was a color of the form helper, other times it was kind of split, like the color only applied to part of it.

in the end, i found that if i hit the back button, the keyboard would go away, the helper would go to the bottom of the screen (or mostly there - sometimes there was a strip below it and the bottom of the viewport), and the field would *then* fill in with the value from the form autocomplete.

"messed up background" sounds like bug 610344. I'm wondering if the widget is somehow not being repainted by xp-layers and the text of the autocomplete is just not visible.

yea, I've seen this. It has looked like a repainting problem rather than an input problem when I've seen it
