Re: Issue with on-screen keypad in IOS

These are bugs with iOS VoiceOver. Please file a bug report with Apple. They fixed a few of mine recently. I filed one not fixed related to <select> controls not sending focus to the picker view when you expand the select on iPhone and when you close the picker the focus is not returned to the triggering element instead the focus is lost to the top of the page and the user would have to swipe all the way back to where they were.

On iPad when you expand a select control the focus is trapped in the pop over view which is great, but the focus is still lost to the top of the page after dismissing the pop over.

I've not looked into manually sending focus where you want it to go with JavaScript.

So the problem I'm facing is that when I finish typing in any form field and pressing Hide keyboard button located at the right end of on-screen keypad, focus doesn't move directly to the edit field, it remains anywhere in application.
