Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[imam.developers]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

To reproduce the bug please do the following:
1. make sure that in your "Android keyboard settings" -> "text correction" -> "show correction suggestions": "always show" is active
2. for example, visit http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/toolbar.htm?classic
3. type some text into the filter


Actual results:

On mobile firefox the list isn't filtered. Desktop Firefox and other browsers (like chrome for android) have no problems.


Expected results:

The list should be filtered by text input when "Android keyboard settings" -> "text correction" -> "show correction suggestions": "always show" is active.

The problem is that the page updates the filter during key events, but Fennec doesn't necessarily send key events when inputting text. The best approach would be to listen to input events instead.

Sounds like this is actionable then. Marking as new.

fwiw, what Jim is suggesting is a change to the website's content
