Public bug reported: Several people on reddit (many surface pro / go users, and myself as an HP tablet pc user) have been experiencing an issue on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy jellyfish) where the gnome lockscreen on-screen keyboard is not functional, but the main ubuntu loginscreen on-screen keyboard is functional.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/umeiqx/onscreen_keyboard_doesnt_register_key_presses_in/ Steps to reproduce: 0) Ensure you have Screen Keyboard enabled in the accessibility menu. 1) From a logged-in state, Go to upper right corner and click Lock 2) Turn device back on so 'user lockscreen' comes back on, try to log in using touchscreen on-screen keyboard. 3) Observe key presses don't work. 4) Try to close login password prompt such that switch user login button appears. 5) Touch switch user login button, leading to 'login screen' (black with ubuntu logo) 6) Select user, try to log in using touchscreen on-screen keyboard and observe it works.
