Thanks, I filed this in our internal bug tracker.

For completeness, i also see this:

There’s some weird gliltch where the keyboard becomes stuck in numeric mode. Then it’ll simply show that keyboard instead of the normal one everywhere.

And for me that ends up freezing quite a lot in portrait numerical after this.

Not fixed in 4.2.0.21.

Did anyone find a workaround? It keeps me from updating my updating main device.

I can confirm this issue for 10 Plus Dual SIM and 10 II Dual SIM in standard browser, Firefox and also Android apps.

As a workaround you can connect a hardware keyboard over USB or Bluetooth and type in the numbers that way.

Hmmm, i just had the numbers keyboard show up when it wasn’t supposed to. And it did not accept input, although it gave some feedback. After that, i was stuck in non-working numeric mode.

This bug appears to be fixed in 4.3.0.12, at least for the website linked in the original quesiton.

Sure, the main aspect of the reported bug is. But this variant/aspect of it persists.

Yep!, found that out just now. I closed sailfish browser with Foreca’s weather page open. Upon opening browser this morning, I go to change the URL and the number keyboard pops up. Restarting lipstick fixes it.
