RAP and mobile hiding keyboard does not reappear when entering text widget [message #1766433]

Hi,

on ipad:
We notice that if you focus on a text field the keyboard of ipad appears.
Then you can hide the keyboard.
When you want to add some text, we click on the textfield, but the keyboard is not showing anymore.
We have to give the focus to another widget and then back to the original text field to add text.

Is anyone having the same issues?

FYI : I was trying to reproduce it on any demo sites. But appearantly they are down.

Kind regards,
Wim

Hi,
is the focus still on the Text widget when the keyboard is closed? Are the focusin/out listeners on the Text widget notified on show/hide of the keyboard?
Regards,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

the focus is still on the text widget.
We were able to reproduce it on ipad 2 with iOS version 9.3 on the demo site : http://rap.eclipsesource.com/demo/release/rapdemo/
also reproduced on ipad pro (don't know exact version right now)
couldn't reproduce it on ipad 2 with iOS version 8.1

steps to reproduce :
1. select a text widget under "Multiline texts" (it actually doesn't mather which text widget)
2. ipad shows keyboard dialog.
3. hide ipad keyboard
4. touch the text widget again => no keyboard is appearing
when switched to another text widget the keyboard is appearing.

By adding a touchlistener to the text widget we received touch events.
We tried calling textwidget.forceFocus / setFocus, but in those methods, the method isFocusControl was called and this returned true.

regards,
Wim
