Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2016-09-23 14:15:57 CEST 
Clicking buttons in the GUI makes the on-screen keyboard disappear, triggering a session resize. Discovered on Android 5.1.1/Google Chrome, but I got the feeling this wasn't device-specific from what Pierre/Samuel said.

This problems comes from shitty focus handling in general between the canvas and the UI elements. Fixing this has a high chance of fixing bug 6055 as well.

Could be related to bug 6065.

Pressing "Clear" in the clipboard window when the keyboard is visible makes the keyboard disappear. Verified on Chromebook (Google Chrome) and Android (Google Chrome and Firefox).

You can now click clear without the keyboard disappearing.

Testing on Windows Touch reveals that Chrome still has this problem:
- activate special key control bar
- open keyboard
- press Ctrl or Alt (other keys hidden by keyboard)
- keyboard closes

I can not reproduce using these instructions. It works fine, the keyboard stays open after clicking Ctrl or any other button in the control bar. Tested using Chrome, FF, IE and Edge on Windows 10 touch, also tested Chrome on Chromebook and can't see the issue anywhere.

One related issue that could perhaps be what was initially seen here has been noted on bug 6348 however.
