General Issues:
Note:
- See Test Plan for types of tests run
- With VKB (Virtual Keyboards, also known as soft keyboards (SKB)), it is sometimes hard to tell from a black box perspective whether or not it is a keyboard issue or a IME (input method Editor) issue. A Fennec developer may have to look into it to differentiate the differences.
- Within Fennec, we control the resizing and viewing of our own area with the VKB popping up, but we do not control how fast the VKB appears. The android system and the VKB app itself controls this.
