Description

[Verdi [:verdi] Best to slack me]

if i go to southwest.com on my samsung galaxy tab and try to enter a departure city on the right side, the keyboard comes up and covers the form. also when i move to the next field, the contents of the first are emptied.

This still seems to be happening. I can reproduce the bug with a mobile version of the site: mobile.southwest.com. Mentioned this in a comment to bug 696319:

STR: open that site, select Air Reservations -> Book Air, try to enter the Promotion Code at the bottom of the page - it doesn't scroll into view, though the method [focused.scrollIntoView(false)] is called.

A comment from kats in that bug:

Not really sure. It works fine on the desktop browser (if I throw up the Firebug console so that it hides the text field, and then do document.getElementById("textfieldpromocode").scrollIntoView() it will scroll into view. Also on mobile it does seem to scroll the page to a particular point, it just doesn't scroll to the *right* point, so I'm guessing that there's a regression in the layout code that makes gecko think the text input box is somewhere different than it actually is.

Isn't this a dupe of bug 696319?

In theory, yes. But the first time I fixed that bug the southwest.com form still didn't work right, so it makes sense to keep this open as a separate issue and re-verify it once that bug is closed.

So this seems to work fine now. The only problem I ran into was that at zoom levels other than 1.0, scrolling the input field into view consistently doesn't work. I've filed bug 709924 to track that issue, and am closing this as WFM.
