Public bug reported:
After installing ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso the on-screen keyboard
was working as expected: the on-screen keyboard would come up as soon as
the focus was in a gnome-terminal or gedit window.
But after upgrading gnome-shell from 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 to
3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 the on-screen keyboard stopped coming up when
focusing a gnome-terminal or gedit window. The only place (I found)
where the on-screen keyboard still comes up is in the text fields of the
shell such as the search field in the gnome overview.
Details:
* The on-screen keyboard was explicitly enabled in accessibility.
* None of the caribou and onboard packages are installed.
* Only two packages were upgraded between the working and broken configurations:
gnome-shell 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
gnome-shell-common 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
* Bug #1589240 is similar but very old and was closed with instructions to
reopen a new bug if needed.
* The test environment is a VMware VM which does have a "real" keyboard and
does not have a touchscreen. I don't think that justifies the change in
behavior, particularly given the inconsistency between gnome-shell's text
fields and the others.
