[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right now, the read-only field (a) changes appearance when focused, (b)
to white, (c) is debossed, and (d) has a blinking insertion point.
Combined with the fact that its label isn't greyed out, those four clues
strongly indicate that I can type into it. The only thing that prevented
me from thinking that the OSK not appearing here was a bug was the fact
that that I happened to design this screen myself.

That's why I didn't say a read-only text field should always look
focused; that wouldn't solve the problem at all. I said it should look
exactly the same when it isn't focused as when it is.

In most toolkits, read-only text fields (a) aren't even focusable, (b) or if they are, they don't change color, (c) they have flatter edges than read-write fields, and (d) they don't have an insertion point (except for accessibility purposes when you can't select text with a pointing device). You can see how your browser renders the difference, for example, by copying and pasting the following line into the address field:
data:text/html,<input><input disabled>

(Unfortunately data: URIs don't work with the Ubuntu Browser; I've just
reported that as bug 1377953.)

Title:
  Read-only text field doesn't look read-only

Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.10 r244

  1. Connect the phone to a Wi-Fi network if it isn't already.
  2. Navigate to System Settings > "Wi-Fi" > the chevron next to the current network.
  3. Tap in the "IP address" field.

  What you see:
  2. The field is grey.
  3. The field is white.

  What you should see: Since the field is read-only, it should look
  exactly the same when it isn't focused as when it is.

  (The use of a read-only text field is a workaround for bug 1286282.)
