[Bug 1578304] [NEW] Focusing the address bar doesn’t invoke the OSK

 

Public bug reported:

This is a very recent regression that I started observing with today’s update in the rc-proposed channel (on all my devices).
I suspect a recent UITK landing triggered that (maybe silo 47 that landed on the 29th of April).

On a touch device, when tapping once on the address bar to focus it, its
entire contents get selected, but it doesn’t actually get active focus,
so the OSK doesn’t pop up. One has to tap once more on the text field,
which has the unfortunate side effect of de-selecting the URL.

A large number of the browser autopilot tests are now failing because of
that new behaviour (I wonder how that was not detected prior to landing
that new UITK).

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
