Bug Description

latest rc-proposed
Go to google.com or any web page that has text entry fields

Click in the field

Expected results:
- cursor is displayed

Actual results:
- cursor is displayed and "select all" popup menu is displayed even though the field is blank and nothing has been selected.

The popup menu should not be displayed until the user long presses in the field

Cf bug 1556764 for implementation details.

While that bug is fixed, there is still an occasional "Select All" tooltip appearing in empty textfields, in the OA webviews.

@David: can you describe exactly how this happens?

I’ve seen this happen when focusing an empty text field, typing in some text, then invoking the touch selection menu by long pressing on that text, then clearing it: the touch selection menu remains visible, but I believe this is intentional. If you unfocus that text field and then focus it again, the menu isn’t initially shown, as expected.

Are you seeing a different thing?
