Alex Harui commented on FLEX-33372:
-----------------------------------
My source thinks it is a player bug, otherwise they would have passed the issue
on to Flex. If you have time, you can help out by creating a non-Flex version
of the test case. Take a TextField and a Sprite. Try giving them focus and
see if the keyboard shows up. If it works for Sprite, there might be other
code you need to borrow from RichEditableText and TLF until it fails. When RET
has displayAsPassword=true it looks like it causes TLF to think someone pasted
in the '****" which might take TLF down some code path that allows the keyboard
to show up.
I don't have a device to test it on so I can't help much at this time.
It occurs to me that a possible workaround might be to always force that paste
operation after each keystroke.

> 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.
