Description

*Problem description* When the app loads in landscape mode on iPad (as an iPhone app), the text field focus events are not fired when tapping on the fields. However, once a device rotation occurs, it starts working. *Test case*

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : '#000'
});

var registerUsername = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
	hintText : 'User ID',
	height : 40,
	left : 10,
	top : 80,
	width : Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth - 40,
	borderStyle : Titanium.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_ROUNDED
});
var registerPassword = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
	hintText : 'Password',
	height : 40,
	left : 10,
	top : 40,
	passwordMask : true,
	width : Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth - 40,
	borderStyle : Titanium.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_ROUNDED
});
win.add(registerUsername);
win.add(registerPassword);

registerUsername.addEventListener('focus', function() {
	Ti.API.info("Register Username: Focus Event");
});
registerPassword.addEventListener('focus', function() {
	Ti.API.info("Register Password: Focus Event");
});

win.open();

*tiapp.xml changes*

    <orientations device="iphone">

The problem seem to be avoided if the window is set to fullscreen:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor : '#000',
       fullscreen: true
   });

More information: This only happens on iOS 6.0 or later, both on simulator and device, and even hitting the (2x) button dispells the situation. This may be something only Apple can fix.

I wonder if it is the same issue that we saw in TIMOB-12924. A simple js workaround was provided for that issue. Would be worthwhile to investigate if the same workaround works here as well. Titanium.UI.iPhone.showStatusBar({animated: false});

As far as I can tell, this is a duplicate of TIMOB-12924. Making the association.

Also, Titanium.UI.iPhone.showStatusBar({animated: false}); indeed does mitigate this. Proposing that, given this is partially Apple's bug and has a workaround, that we push it off until later.
