Description of problem:
When I have firefox running and enable Screen Keyboard accessibility, it simply doesn't work in firefox, but it does in other gnome components (like gnome-terminal or xchat). I need to restart firefox with Screen Keyboard accessibility option enabled to get it work.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-24.3.0-2.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.8.4-22.el7.x86_64
xulrunner-24.3.0-1.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have Screen Keyboard disabled
2. Start firefox and gnome-terminal
3. Enable Screen Keyboard accessibility
4. Focus on any input field in firefox
5. Focus on gnome-terminal
Actual results:
Firefox does not invoke on-screen keyboard although the gnome-terminal does
Expected results:
in both cases the on-screen keyboard should be shown
Additional info:
It's called "On Screen Keyboard" now and you can enable it with Settings (system user menu) -> Universal Access -> tab Typing -> On Screen Keyboard.
However, not it seems to be working on firefox-31.2.0-3.el7_0.x86_64 (although it's not stable, e.g. some time the keyboard appears even when no input field nor text box is focused and it doesn't want to disappear or e.g. when i started firefox and firefox's default home page appears, i got no on screen keyboard)
