I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of things, but I found a workaround in the browser: in Browser.qml at line 70¹, if I comment out the call to contentsContainer.forceActiveFocus(), the issue goes away.
The underlying bug still exists in the UITK. I’m marking webbrowser-app also affected, and linking a branch that has the workaround. ¹ https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/Browser.qml ** Also affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545802 Title: activeFocus not being forwarded to TextInput inside TextField To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1545802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
