Do we know what the desired behavior requirements are? I'm thinking something like...
1. User taps screen 2. Check if event is in an editable text area 3. If yes, display caribou in half* of the screen where tap did ~not~ occur 4. If no, do not display caribou 5. If caribou is not displayed, sliding up from the bottom of the screen should always be available in order to activate the on-screen keyboard. (* Perhaps this could actually be changed to: display caribou in the quadrant of the screen diagonal to where the tap occurred. But you have to take screen size into account, so for smaller screens, the half screen rule above may need to be used). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723857 Title: onscreen keyboard appears whenever i touch touchscreen Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell source package in Artful: Triaged Bug description: Impact ====== I'm in 17.10.
