Hi everybody,
I'm using the Maliit virtual keyboard both on desktop and embedded platform, but I can't make the keyboard appear when clicking in input fields in web pages when using a QML 2 WebView.

With the following QML 2 code the keyboard never shows up when clicking on the input field on the web page, while it does if I click on the TextInput.

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtWebKit 3.0

Column {
    Rectangle {
        id: bg
        width: 500
        height: 100
        color: "red"
        opacity: 0.8

        TextInput {
            anchors.fill: parent
            text: "test"
        }
    }



    WebView {
        width: 500
        height:300
        url: "https://www.google.com";
    }
}

I'm using Qt 5.0.1 on desktop, but I've tried Qt 5.0.2 on an embedded board and the issue is still there.
I can't find anything related on the web, except maybe this bug report:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84875

I've looked at the Qt/webkit integration and I'm a bit lost, since the code is very different from that report. Also the bug is closed as fixed in master, but it seems that such code never hit the Qt5 repo.

Anyway it seems that the tap events are getting in the way of showing up the VKB. One way to workaround the problem is to apply the dirty trick below; it seems to work fine, but I have no idea of what the consequences would be.

In qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/qt/QtWebPageEventHandler.cpp:

void QtWebPageEventHandler::doneWithGestureEvent(const WebGestureEvent& event, bool wasEventHandled)
 {
     if (event.type() != WebEvent::GestureSingleTap)
         return;

     m_postponeTextInputStateChanged = false;

-    if (!wasEventHandled || !m_webView->hasActiveFocus())
+    if (!m_webView->hasActiveFocus())
         return;

     updateTextInputState();
 }

Is anybody aware of this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
