843048 - Keyboard does not pop up when tapping password field for Zimbra login

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect)

Description

[Zac C (:zac)]

Device: Desire HD
Android: 2.3.5  (HTC Sense 3.0)
Firefox: Nightly 22.0a1 (2013-02-20)
IME: Touch Input

STR: 
1. Go to Zimbra (mozilla) login page
2. Tap Username to give focus (cursor in Username field)
3. While the Username field still has focus, tap the password field

Actual: Cursor will swap to Password field but the keyboard will close
Expected: Keyboard to avail itself for entrance of password

NB tested this with alternative non-English IMEs and I could not replicate it.

This can also be replicated just on the gmail.com login page.

Attachment: Delay showing/hiding IME on Gecko thread instead of Java thread (v1)

Right now we delay showing/hiding the IME on the Java thread through a 200ms delay, but seems like this can cause cases where we end up hiding the IME instead of showing. This patch moves the delaying process to the Gecko thread, and eliminates the need for a hard-coded 200ms delay.
