876739 - Unable to see characters typed in landscape fullscreen VKB

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[u421692]

Environment:
Build: Firefox for Android 24.0a1 (2013-05-28)
Device: Samsung Galaxy S2(Android 4.0.3)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open bugzilla.mozilla.org.
2. Tap on Log In.
3. Tap on Sign in with persona button.
4. Type some text.

Expected result:
The character are displayed as you type.

Actual result:
Unable to see the characters typed.

Note: I was able to reproduce this issue only with this particular case(persona login) and not on other sites(yahoo mail; gmail, etc); maybe because the VKB is automatically opened in this case(persona login).

Bug 714950 is a similar issue, that was verified as fixed.

The extracted text request and current input method name should be reset in notifyIMEContext. The reason is only notifyIMEContext calls restartInput, which eventually sets these fields to their proper values.

While we are here, I think we should still go through the restartInput and show/hideSoftInput calls even if we are disabling IME for native widget inputs.
