Bug Description

Ubuntu Touch OTA 9 on BQ Aquarie E4.5
When the phone runs for a while - as soon as a text-field is selected and the virtual keyboard shows up, it is automatically filled with 1 (number 1). No possibility to interrupt the process. All applications using the virtual keyboard are affected.
By example the dial-pad is not affected but browser, search button etc. everything gets filled with 1.

Only fix so far is to reboot the phone.
Cause yet unknown, and no direct way identified that triggers this behavior.
Still searching.

Made some more tests.
As soon as I connect Bluetooth to my Car system (audio/Media + Phone extension from Alpine), that behavior starts.
I suppose it is linked to the Bluetooth Stack. Have to actually reboot the phone to make it stop.
Anyone knows how to completely restart the Bluetooth stack while running live ?

What happens if you turn bluetooth off in the indicator
Does this happen when you are no longer paired to the car unit?

I actually did some more tests.
While paired with the Car unit, everything is fine (Note that I pair the phone Handsfree and audio capability). When I power off the car unit and didn't previously disable the pairing manually (Means the phone thinks it is still paired), that behavior starts.
All text-fields will return repetitive 1 until the text-field size is reached (Probably).
The car Device is a Alpine INE-W990BT (http://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/navigation-systems6/ine-w990bt).
I have not yet tested disabling manually the Bluetooth from the phone while connected to the car unit. Will do that (but can't garantee it will be this week though -> On travel).

Ok - last test.
While connected to the alpine car device, and disconnecting the Bluetooth on the phone manually, I can avoid the repetitive 1 bug showing up.
