DESCRIPTION:
When using the sailfish-browser in landscape orientation, tapping on the address will bring up the text input field with all text selected.
Starting to type e.g. a search term, after the first character the Browser history appears, and the text field loses focus.
Tapping again will then again select all text, which is the single character you typed, so that you have to enter the start of your word again.
PRECONDITIONS:
Have the browser opened and a web page loaded. Have the device in Landscape orientatiin.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- tap on the address bar
- start typing
- observe focus lost (VKB closes)
- again tap the address bar
- observe character is selected, typing will remove it so you have to either:
- re-enter it
- use a “keyboard with arrows” layout to remove the selection
- tap somewhere in the text field to remove the selection
EXPECTED RESULT:
Focus stays in the address bar after first character entered.
Appearance of histoy search results should not remove focus from the text field.
ACTUAL RESULT:
See above
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This does not happen in portrait orientation.
In Landscape the VKB actually closes when the object move in place (bookmark icons and history results.
This seems like a minor glitch but once discovered it tis extemely annoying.
