Bug Description

build 133
Galaxy Nexus

Steps to reproduce:
- open browser
- click in url field that has text in it or type in url in keyboard
- try to press the "X" button in url field to clear it

Expected Results:
- "x" button should clear the field

This is a new bug with maliit-keyboard that is affecting webbrowser-app. An invisible area was added in maliit to make it easier to dismiss with this MR: https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ethomas-moenicke/phablet-extras/maliit-plugins_invisible_toucharea/+merge/164925.
The problem is that touch events are not getting propagated to the widget that lives beneath the hidden area.

I tested this with nemo-keyboard, and it works great. nemo-keyboard is easy to swipe to hide but also allows keypress events to propagate to invisible area. Please apply the same technique as used in nemo to maliit to solve this issue.

This will affect the phone-app as well as contacts view will place the toolbar above the keyboard and you can't activate any buttons. You can try phone-app from here that has the functionality:
