If I enter "123" in the URL bar of Firefox it appears as expected, but
when I do it in Chromium it gives "!@#".  It also takes '.' as '>'
making it impossible to type a URL.

I don't know how much blame should be attributed to chromium but I think
at a minimum it needs input from people who understand maliit before
getting the chromium maintainers involved.
