The keyboard is very unstable, sometimes it doesn't appear when we need to fill a field.

This may be a dupe of bug 808651

Comment 3

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I see this issue during smoketesting today when trying to fill in the browser URL, but in other places such as contacts it seems to work.

[Tim Guan-tin Chien [:timdream] (please needinfo)]

ttaubert, are you seeing this also with your patch in bug 802073? If not then you might be able to fix this and other keyboard quirks altogether with that patch.

I could not reproduce this issue with,
 - The same Gaia rev.: a226cc9dea848eeeb87364b54fe7e472ae5a1366
 - unagi_stable_2012-11-07.zip

Marcia, David, thanks for the changeset version, can you provice some steps to reproduce in order to help developers figuring out what you did?

The usual format people use is:

----
Steps to reproduce:
 - Launch the ***** application
 - Click **** to go to ****
 - Click on field **** and wait for the keyboard
 - Type 'foo' in field ****
 - Click on field **** and wait for the keyboard

Expected result:
 - The keyboard shows up

Actual result:
 - No keyboard

Here is my changeset info:

Gaia: 7ffd1c81db16bf0c6c3285a46259411d603109ca
Gecko: f059d3668a1acdeca0fac3c489205edcbe3c8779

Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently. To the best of my knowledge this was what I was doing when it happened (I was running the test of loading a site using wifi:

1. Launch the browser from the dock.
2. Wait for the home page to finish loading.
3. Select the URL field and try to type in a URL.

Expected:

The keyboard would appear

Actual:

No keyboard comes up.

Hi all, please also see Bug 809760
I think they are the same issue

---
## Repro :
1. Launch the contact app
2. Press "+" button to add a contact
3. Add a picture 
4. After return to add contact page, try to edit some fields (e.g. Name, Phone...)

## Expected:
* Keyboard will be triggered

## Actual:
* Keyboard didn't show up

David - it doesn't look like schung is available to look at this (no activity in this bug). Can you find another assignee that can investigate today?

Comment 10

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Was just able to repro again during smoketesting:

## Repro :
1. Using a data connection, Launch the browser and navigate to cnn.com
2. Press "Bookmark" button and try to add the bookmark to your home screen
3. Navigate back to the URL bar and try to type something. 

## Expected:
* Keyboard will be triggered

## Actual:
* Keyboard doesn't show up

Milestoning for C2 (deadline of 12/10), as this meets the criteria of "remaining P1 bugs not already milestoned for C1".

Comment 12

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

This is preventing a stable update to our testers - David, can we get an assignee here?

Comment 13

[Rudy Lu [:rudyl] (inactive after 2015/7/3)]

I could reproduce this issue only by John's repro steps in Comment 8.
--
If you launch an app. like contact or SMS without going into "add a picture", this issue would not occur.

Thanks.

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

It's almost as if the "add bookmark to homescreen" editing UI is open, but *behind* the browser. it doesn't show up when it should. it does show up if you hold down the home button and kill the browser via card view.

Comment 15

[David Scravaglieri [:scravag]]

Probably same root cause as bug 791920

Comment 16

[Rudy Lu [:rudyl] (inactive after 2015/7/3)]

Probably the same issue as Bug 809760.

Fixed with:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/6420 merged.

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

I wasn't able to reproduce following the steps in comment 17, but please file a separate bug for this issue.  The fix here covered the STRs from comment 13 and above; I can confirm that's fixed.

Comment 19

[Angela Hubenya]

this defect only reproduces when accessing Gmail through the browser, NOT Gmail app on Unagi. I just reproduced this on build 20130102070202
