749120 - Tapping on Flash object opens up virtual keyboard

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

I filed this because of discussion in bug 747492.

Chris mentioned this is likely a regression from bug 707353.

Steps to reproduce:
- Tap on any Flash embed you see

Expected result:
- No virtual keyboard comes up (when it's not expected, which it usually is)

Actual result:
- Virtual keyboard appears.

It happens with every Flash embed, not just full page plugins, so this one too:

Tested on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy SII.

I think this should be a release blocker because interacting with any Flash content will open the VKB. The Flash content will still work correctly, so I don't think this bug needs to be a beta blocker.

This is on Aurora and inbound, correct?  Is there a link to the changesets for those?

I am not seeing the issue at http://people.mozilla.org/~mwargers/tests/plugins/flash/flashembed.html. However I am seeing a similar behavior at studio1290.com. I logged Bug 750229 for it. Leaving this issue unverified until it can be determined if the 2 issues are related.

This is not fixed on Nightly/Aurora.

Nevermind, it's the search box on the top right

It still happens on trunk with the url testcase (which is a standalone Flash file).

Comment 13

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Ok, I guess that is bug 747492 and/or bug 750771.

Comment 14

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Ok, marking fixed, since this was fixed with the urls that this bug was originally about.
The other vkb issues are covered by the bugs I mentioned in comment 13.
