Title:
onscreen keyboard doesn't trigger url bar's drop-down list
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Steps:
1) start firefox 45.0.1 for ubuntu canonical
2) using an onscreen keyboard like "onboard", type a partial url that's in
your history
= No dropdown list of suggested url's appears
Notes:
1) Typing the same characters on the physical keyboard produces the expected
dropdown list
2) Safe mode or disabling all extensions makes no difference
3) Occasionally the dropdown list may work once immediately after startup but
never more than once
4) Firefox 45 broke Windows 8 onscreen keyboard support (related?)
