SOFTWARE VERSION: 1.2009.41-10 STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: 1. Enable virtual keyboard in Setting -> Text input. 2. Make sure the slider keyboard is withdrawn. 3. Start Maps. 4. Tap the magnifying glass icon to search. 5. Tap the input field. EXPECTED OUTCOME: Virtual keyboard appears so one can enter search terms. ACTUAL OUTCOME: Nothing. REPRODUCIBILITY: Most of the time. If I tap the input field multiple times in quick succession the VKB sometimes comes up, pre-filled with the string "Start typing to search..." which has to be erased manually.
confirmed on 41-11 too
And 2.2009.51-1, except that if/when it eventually does appear it is not pre-filled anymore.

This works fine in the latest internal builds that will become the next public release ("PR1.2"). It takes a second though which confused me at first. A future public update will include the fix. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
