I can confirm installing caribou solves the problem. It should be installed by default when installing gnome-shell, or at least when installing Ubuntu Gnome.
The keyboard appears automatically in GTK applications, including Libre Office, but not in Chromium, or when using the text-tools in Inkscape and Gimp. But that might be another issue altogether. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. 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/ubuntu-gnome-meta/+bug/1589240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
