Bug Description

The Ubuntu HTML5 UI gallery demos types of input fields, including one useful for searches. It is declared like this:

<input type="search" placeholder="search field">

When in chromium, this field has an 'x' that displays after typing and allows the user to delete all text from the field.

This 'x' does not display when ubuntu-html5-app-launcher is the container.

It should.

I suppose this is a limitation of qtwebkit currently. Unless the W3C specification makes that behavior mandatory I don't think that it is a genuine bug. However, you should test with the Oxide engine coming soon, as it will probably resolve this issue.

Until the oxide fix lands (and if it does not land), it is also a bug in the Ubuntu HTML5 UI Gallery. The Gallery in our current web container demos a 'search' field, but it appears to be no different than a plain text field.
