You have been subscribed to a public bug: After installing ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso the on-screen keyboard was working as expected: the on-screen keyboard would come up as soon as the focus was in a gnome-terminal or gedit window.
But after upgrading gnome-shell from 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 to 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 the on-screen keyboard stopped coming up when focusing a gnome-terminal or gedit window. The only place (I found) where the on-screen keyboard still comes up is in the text fields of the shell such as the search field in the gnome overview. Details: * The on-screen keyboard was explicitly enabled in accessibility. * None of the caribou and onboard packages are installed. * Only two packages were upgraded between the working and broken configurations: gnome-shell 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 gnome-shell-common 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 * Bug #1589240 is similar but very old and was closed with instructions to reopen a new bug if needed. * The test environment is a VMware VM which does have a "real" keyboard and does not have a touchscreen. I don't think that justifies the change in behavior, particularly given the inconsistency between gnome-shell's text fields and the others. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gnome on-screen keyboard doesn't appear when a text field is focused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
