[mir] key events not working through input devices (aka volume up/down)

OK so we're not getting VolumeUp or VolumeDown at all in the shell. Affecting Mir, as we'll need it to work there. Potentially unity-mir, too?

This is causing autopilot failures as well.

The volume keys are working fine for me

Just flashed my galaxy nexus with image 80.
Opened the "sound" panel in unity8 and pressed volume keys up and down. The volume slider moves accordingly.

Maybe the fix for bug 1233944 also fixed this one...

Ignore my two previous updates. I was running under SurfaceFlinger. Sorry for the noise.

[DD, android-input] [EventHub]/dev/input/event2 got: t0=1276, t1=686553, type=1, code=114, value=1
[DD, android-input] [EventHub]/dev/input/event2 got: t0=1276, t1=686553, type=0, code=0, value=0
[II, android-input] [InputDispatcher]Dropping event because there is no focused window or focused application.

So key events (volume up/down) are received correctly by android-input in mir but not being forwarded to unity8 or any app.

Passing the bug to Robert Carr, now that it's about fixing the focus in unity8-mir. I.e. making unity8 focused when it's on foreground.
Since it will take me quite a bit to wrap my head around all those mir interfaces regarding focus and we want this fix for yesterday, I believe Robert (author of a good deal of this mir focus code) will be able to get it fixed waaaay faster than myself.

I'm reluctant to say Triaged in Mir because that means mir-team understands what needs fixing in Mir. I certainly don't, but assume that racarr does.

Fix committed into lp:qtubuntu at revision 184, scheduled for release in qtubuntu, milestone ubuntu-13.05

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

unity-mir (0.1+13.10.20131008.2-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Ricardo Mendoza ]
  * Add support for upstart-app-launch to request application resume &
    focus. This revealed extra work: prevent unexpected focus events
    propagating to shell, fix lifecycle bug and add workaround for
    handling of non-application sessions (like QtWebProcess and maliit).

  * Make shell surface be an input monitor. (LP: #1236736, #1231713,
    #1233245)
  * Make sure we dont lose focus on the currently focused application
    when dismissing an invalid session startup. (LP: #1236789)

  [ Daniel d'Andrada ]
  * Do not let touches meant for the OSK hit the Shell components behind
    it. (LP: #1236773)

  [ Michał Sawicz ]
  * Map rect to scene in setMirInputArea and set the geometry onEnabled.
    (LP: #1235383, #1235215)
  * Focus the shell when no sessions are focused. It's difficult with
    the current architecture for the shell to receive keyboard focus, as
    it does not have an associated application session. Work around this
    by implementing a defaulting FocusSetter, which assigns keyboard
    focus to the shell surface when focus would otherwise be cleared.

Incomplete for Mir. Does Mir need fixing for this?
