Upgrade a Surface Pro 3 to 17.04, the issue remains. Gnome on-screen keyboard does work in shell, but not with applications.
@Riccardo: Ubuntu with Unity does however come with onboard which is a good on-screen keyboard. It does provide a good floating keyboard experience with Gnome, too. However it does not work right with Wayland, yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu GNOME, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589240 Title: Gnome on-screen keyboard doesn't appear when a text field is focused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1589240/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
