Confirmed with 2007.2 and matchbox keyboard. In minimo if the PSU cable is 
plugged in the keyboard will not enter URLs. When I first tried this with USB 
it worked, but having then connected to the PSU to verify the problem then 
switched back to USB it no longer works that way either. If I switch to the 
terminal the keyboard works as expected with PSU or USB plugged in. Note 
that 'as expected' includes the known bug that changes some of the keyboard 
input when USB is plugged in. Curiously when minimo was working with usb 
plugged in it exhibited this problem for the first keypress, but subsequent 
key presses were correct. I noted this because t struck me as odd, but since 
it now doesn't work at all with USB I have been unable to repeat it.
