On screen keyboard does not stay up when Firefox is in full screen mode
Running Firefox in full screen mode (whether normally and then F11, or with the -kiosk parameter) results in the on screen keyboard appearing briefly and then vanishing when selecting a text input field. This occurs whether I set the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 environment variable or not.
Steps to reproduce on tablet PC
- Create HTML document below in current working directory, call it
login.html.
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post">
<label for="username">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
<br>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password">
</form>
</body>
</html>
- Run firefox -
firefox $PWD/login.html - Tap one of the fields. Note that the on screen keyboard appears after a couple of presses
- Press F11 to go full screen and try to tap a field again. Note that keyboard appears for a moment (I've seen up to a second) and then vanishes.
- Run firefox in kisok mode -
firefox -kiosk $PWD/login.html- and repeat step 2, noting that the same behaviour with the keyboard occurs here as it did in step 4.
Can confirm this does not occur in the base version of Ubuntu (though their on screen keyboard is awful)
Ack. However I don't have a tablet around my home. Will buy a Surface Go soon.
