Description of problem: the new on-screen keyboard is a really cool feature. once enabled in the accessibility settings it will open up as soon as a text input field gets focus. this is true for the shell and all other applications I tested, e.g. google chrome. however there is one app, namely firefox, that just won't open the keyboard, when the url or search field will get focus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I downloaded, installed and updated fedora to the latest software available. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable on screen keyboard in accessibility settings 2. go to firefox and click in the url bar Actual results: no on-screen keyboar showing up Expected results: an on-screen keyboard appearing as soon as the url bar gets focus Additional info:
Yep, that's true. Taking...
relevant irc discussion: <jhorak> I'm a litte bit puzzled about on-screen keyboard. It used to autohide and show when clicking on input field, now it doesn't. <halfline> i think it "detects" text entries using a gtk plugin from caribou <halfline> so it could be you don't have the right plugin installed anymore <halfline> or maybe you have it for gtk3 apps and not gtk2 apps <halfline> (or vice versa) <jhorak> hm, caribou, I didn't have caribou-gtk2/3-module installed. <aday> jhorak, yep, it worked in F16 <aday> must have regressed for F17 <aday> it doesn't seem to work in firefox in F16; it's fine with gtk2 and gtk3 apps though <jhorak> it might be missing caribou modules... <halfline> i think firefox filters its gtk module list <halfline> iirc <halfline> so that might be related
