[Bug 1586968] Re: Touch selection menu initially empty when focusing a text field

 

I instrumented the webview to print the initial value of
editingCapabilities (at Component.onCompleted) and to print the new
value whenever it changes. This is what I’m seeing:

    qml: EDITING CAPS: 0
    qml: INITIAL EDITING CAPS: 64

The value of editingCapabilities changes once (to 0) before component
completion. At component completion, the value has changed again (64 ==
SelectAll), but the corresponding changed signal hasn’t been emitted,
which explains why the touch selection menu isn’t aware of the SelectAll
capability, and is displayed empty. This looks like a bug in oxide.

Title:
  Touch selection menu initially empty when focusing a text field

Status in Oxide:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This appears to be 100% reproducible when the device has just been rebooted (not always reproducible otherwise).
  Steps to reproduce:
   1) browse to e.g. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
   2) long press on one of the text fields ("Poster:" or "Content:")
   3) wait for the touch selection menu to appear next to the insertion handle (note that at the moment there is a bug in oxide which also triggers the page context menu, dismissing it will get you the touch selection menu)

  Expected result: assuming the clipboard is empty (device just
  rebooted), the "Select All" action is the only one visible in the
  touch selection menu.

  Current result: no action is visible, the menu is empty (see attached
  screenshot).
