-----------------------------------
My sources say this is a known issue all the way through 11.6. Please file a
bug at bugbase.adobe.com against the Flash Player.
> Windows 8 on-screen touch keyboard not displaying
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLEX-33372
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33372
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark: RichEditableText, Spark: TextArea, Spark:
> TextInput
> Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release), Apache Flex 4.9.0
> Environment: Windows 8 Metro
> Internet Explorer (IE) 10.0.1
> Flash Player 11,3,378,5
> Reporter: Stepan Hilbert
>
> On-screen touch keyboard is not being displayed for spark RichEditableText
> based text input components. It does get displayed when displayAsPassword
> property is set to true. It does get displayed for TextField based components.
> Additionally, it would be desirable to control the keyboard using:
> - needsSoftKeyboard property
> - requestSoftKeyboard() function
> These currently have no effect.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create a Flex application that features s:TextInput, s:TextInput with
> displayAsPassword="true" and mx:TextInput
> <mx:TextInput text="mx:TextInput" />
> <s:TextInput text="s:TextInput" />
> <s:TextInput text="s:TextInput password" displayAsPassword="true" />
> 2. Open this application in the Metro Internet Explorer on a touch-enabled
> Windows 8 PC/Tablet. You might need to edit the DebugDomain variable (see
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
> 3. Tap the mx:TextInput - on-screen keyboard shows
> 4. Tap the s:TextInput with displayAsPassword="true" - on-screen keyboard
> shows
> 5. Tap the s:TextInput - on-screen keyboard doesn't show
> Note:
> This bug has been discussed on the web
> (i.e. here:
> http://flexcoders.10928.n7.nabble.com/windows-8-store-app-onscreen-keyboard-invoking-td111950.html)
> but no resolution has been reached, so that is why I'm logging this issue.
