I'm uploading to all supported releases, to be safe and to satisfy the SRU process (trying to minimise the possibility of regressing the bug).
For cosmic, suggest running through the testcase and making sure it still works. At the time of writing, there's currently a gnome-shell verified for release in cosmic-proposed; please don't clobber that if it's still there when this upload is reviewed. ** Also affects: ibus (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Committed ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Cosmic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765304 Title: Ubuntu 18.04's ibus package breaks password fields in Firefox (by lowering & raising window whenever they're focused) Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in gnome-shell source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in ibus source package in Cosmic: Invalid Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/391 --- tl;dr: starting in Ubuntu 18.04, "ibus" seems to lower and raise Firefox, whenever the user tries to focus an <input type="password"> field on a web page. This is not a regression in Firefox, as the same Firefox version runs just fine in Ubuntu 17.10 -- it seems to be a bug in ibus, because it only happens (in 18.04) when the environmental variable GTK_IM_MODULE is at its default value (which is "ibus"). It had this same value in 17.10 but the bug didn't happen there; hence, I'm guessing there was a change in ibus (or a related package) that caused this breakage / lowering+raising. This is pretty bad, because in some cases, the focus-loss can mean users are simply unable to fill in password fields that previously were working fine. (see "ACTUAL RESULTS" below) STEPS TO REPRODUCE #1, via "BitWarden" Firefox extension: ========================================================= 1. Start Firefox. (fresh profile if you like) 2. Install BitWarden from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/ 3. Click the BitWarden toolbar icon to spawn a menu-pane. 4. Click "Log in" at the bottom of that pane. 5. Click the "Master Password" field. ACTUAL RESULTS: The menu pane disappears as soon as the Master Password field receives focus. EXPECTED RESULTS: I should be able to type in a password; pane shouldn't disappear. STEPS TO REPRODUCE #2, via Reddit: ================================= 1. Visit https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/ (or any reddit page) 2. Click "Log in or sign up in seconds" at the extreme upper right of the page. (click the "Log in" part of that sentence) 3. Try to click the password field (or "tab" into it) and type in some text. ACTUAL RESULTS: Try as you might, the password field never receives focus. EXPECTED RESULTS: Password field should accept focus & let me type text into it. If I run firefox from the command line with env var GTK_IM_MODULE="", then I get "expected results". But with the default value of that env var, I get "actual results" (broken behavior, unable to enter passwords). I initially reported this in Firefox, here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1451466 (with a few dependent bugs for the usage-specific STR quoted above). But I think it's a bug in ibus, hence filing here now.
