matchbox-keyboard - virtual keyboard loses focus in a web browser “password” field

[flaviosuligoi]

Hi all,

I'm using matchbox-keyboard, as virtual keyboard, in a HMI panel, based on i.MX53 architecture.

The distro (sato) is built using Yocto.

Normally the matchbox-keyboard (used as a daemon) works well, but when I try to write a password in a password field in a web page (ad example for a login), the matchbox-keyboard disappears.

This happens with both Chromium and Firefox.

If the browser works in "kiosk" mode, this is a big problem (in kiosk mode there is no status bar of the matchbox-desktop).

Any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks and best regards,

Flavio

Nobody in Freescale has this problem like me?

Are nobody using Yocto to build kiosk-application with a web browser?

Hi Flavio,

Did you resolve your issue on this? If so, what steps did you need to take?

I noticed in another post (yocto mailing list) you had issues with the auto pop up in yocto 1.6.1? I am using yocto 1.6.4 and can't get the pop up working... My application is using chromium in kiosk mode.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
