Description Michael Mol 2016-04-18 19:14:09 UTC

On a page with a dropdown, clicking the dropdown accomplishes nothing more than highlight the dropdown element briefly. The list of items in the dropdown never appears. Using arrow keys to attempt to interact with the element also fails; the element clearly has focus, as hitting arrow keys doesn't even scroll the page, much less elicit any reaction from the widget itself.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select
2. Click "Volvo"
3. Fail to see any of the other options presented.

Actual Results:  
No effect from attempts to interact with HTML dropdown element.

Expected Results:  
Expect to see other elements, trigger subsequent JS events, etc.

[WebBrowser Plasmoid] Port to QtWebEngine

QtWebkit is old, unmaintained, possibly insecure, and also has quite a few bugs nowadays.
This also adds a couple of smaller features while at it:

* Reload button turns into a Stop button while loading
* Cursor changes shape over links
* Address bar selects all text when clicked to ease typing a completely new address
* Browser forward/back button on the mouse work

as well as a slew of features brought in by QtWebEngine, such as:

* Text selection support
* Context menu with "Copy link" and others
