[WebOS25] Password input fails the first time when the field is focused

Web App Development

On webOS 25, the password input field consistently ignores the first character entered after the field receives focus. The LG soft keyboard visually registers the key press, but no character is inserted into the input field. All subsequent characters are entered correctly until the field loses focus. The issue reproduces every time the password field is focused again.

Additional observations:

* The problem affects only the first character after focusing the password field.
* Backspace and Clear All work correctly.
* After using Clear All, the issue resets and the first typed character is ignored again.
* The issue is consistently reproducible in the login flow on webOS 25.

Hi, the issue is exactly with the virtual keyboard, which is part of WebOS - we don’t use custom keyboards under SmartTV platforms. I’ll be grateful to check and provide us with feedback on how to fix/workaround the issue. Moreover, one of our apps has been rejected by the LG QA team just because of this issue.

BR,

Dimitar
