Symbian FEP (Front End Processor) is used to bring out virtual keyboard on devices that don't have physical keyboard. If input methods are enabled by default any pointer event will cause this full screen virtual keyboard to appear making webpage navigation nearly impossible on touch screen devices that don't have additional keyboard. OS is Symbian 5th edition not 3rd edition, but since that is not selectable 3rd edition is the closest option.

I think this should be enabled for all platforms. The rationale is that if you start out with input methods on, click in an input widget (which will force input methods to on anyway), and then click away, input methods will now be off. The state when nothing is focused should be the same before and after that scenario.

Comment on attachment 40708 [details] proposed fix for QWebView Ah yes, at some point we should remove the #ifdef altogether :) Thanks Janne
