887893 - text editing seems broken

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130307023931

Steps to reproduce:

every page I go to now the text editing fails. I can't edit a text field [or at least it doesn't show the edit] and the carets are all over the place. I can actually drag them around the screen. A lot of pages I end up with a blank or partial screen.


Actual results:

editing in input fields seems completely broken. I can't even sign in from my tablet to report this bug. The persona login screen has no input fields showing but the virtual keyboard is up.


Expected results:

everything was fine in v21. I upgraded hoping a specific issue I have with spell check might have been fixed, but now nothing [and that is every site i've visited so far] is broken.

I just tried closing the persona login screen to get back to the input.mozilla.org screen and it's locked up.

Hi.

Which device, keyboard and OS are you using? Do you have a particular URL or test-case example showcasing this? Also do you see the same problems using Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) for Android?

Asus TF-201, Android 4.1, virtual keyboard

It's happening on every page I've visited so far that has an <input> field.

ex msnbc.com. I click the 'search' field, virtual kbd comes up, i type something [doesn't show in the input field], press go, the page refreshes but no search results and the page doesn't respond.

I installed the nightly build and the page is blank on the right 40% [text is cut off vs not sized properly].

input.mozilla.org - i click the sign in and at least now I see the input fields and I can type into the email field [no spell check and i see the text in the input field]

reopened msnbc.com - the page rendered with huge images and fonts

refreshed and it's ok

The nightly build seems to have fixed most of the issues, except the one I really want fixed - keyup & keydown events for <input> fields so I can use some ajax functions for narrowing search results [this is the only browser that doesn't seem to fire the events, using it for jquery chosen() to build results by ajax]

Hi, I cannot reproduce the problem you're reporting with Asus Transformer Pad (Android 4.2.1).
Do you still see the issue on latest Nightly builds? Thanks!

Closing this since the issue is not reproducible, also on latest Nightly 62.0a1. Please reopen if the issue still exist.
Thanks!
