806602 - [Browser] When on-screen keyboard appears, it often covers up the text field, so you can't see what you're typing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 785663

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit http://pastebin.mozilla.org/ in B2G browser

 2. Pinch-to-zoom-in, enough so that you can't see the "Your Name" field when you're scrolled all the way to the top.

 3. Scroll down a bit, to make the "Your Name" field visible at the bottom of the screen.  Click into its textbox.

 4. If you haven't had problems yet, click in some empty space outside the textbox, and then click back inside the textbox.

ACTUAL RESULTS: One of two bad things will happen. (no idea what determines which one)
 Either:
    - The on-screen keyboard pops up and covers up the textbox, so you can't see what you're typing.
 ...or:
    - The on-screen keyboard appears, *and* the viewport snaps to the top of the page, so you can't see what you're typing.

I think this is a dupe of a platform bug

Dupe is a blocker so blocking.
