Public bug reported:

Haven’t managed to reproduce with a standalone example yet, but I can
reliably reproduce the following issue with the browser app on a tablet
with a bluetooth keyboard connected (this needs to be on a tablet so
that the wide layout of the app is used, for example with a Nexus 7
(flo) in landscape orientation):

 1) launch the browser app with a bluetooth keyboard attached and ensure that the current tab is not a new tab
 2) press Ctrl+T to open a new tab

Expected result: the address bar gets active focus so that the user can
start entering a URL right away

Current result: the address bar gets active focus for a fraction of a
second, then looses it. When that happens, pressing Ctrl+L (which forces
focus on the address bar) doesn’t fix it.


I added some debugging to the browser (printing Window.activeFocusItem whenever it changes), and it appears that when initially forcing active focus on the address bar the QQuickTextInput inside it gets active focus, then looses it. At that point the activeFocusItem is the TextField, but it doesn’t forward it to QQuickTextInput inside itself.

That situation can be remedied by using a bluetooth mouse to click on
the address bar, which restores active focus on the QQuickTextInput.
