I thought my buying USB Microscopes in LIDL was an all-time low . . .
Mind you, a friend of mine bought a kilt there.

Colleagues in Livecode,
I just purchased a Win 10 ‘convertible’ tablet from Lidl
<https://www.lidl.de/de/trekstor-surftab-twin-10-1/p255395> solely for quick
Win testing LC. The upside is that it is astonishing value for money (£169).
The downside is that the on screen keyboard isn’t automatically invoked when no
keyboard is attached and the cursor enters a field. I can access the KB from
the task bar, but who wants to do that all the time? It also doesn’t seem to
move things about to avoid the KB overlaying the field in question.
Right click (hold and release) in the textField, and select show touch
keyboard icon.
Fairly inconvenient!
Here's some horrible Visual BASIC:
Sub Keyboard()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Call ShellEx("C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\ink\TabTip.exe")
ProcedureExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error" & ": " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & "Description: " _
& Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Module1.Keyboard"
Resume ProcedureExit
End Sub

I have seen a few complaints online that seem to suggest that this is how it
works in Win 10. I have a hard time believing that because it is so
spectacularly stupid and irritating.
I don't, frankly.
Some apps seem to have worked around this problem, and I hope that someone on
this list has also done so.
Any advice? If I have to roll my own KB + field avoidance+ text entry system I
will, but surely that shouldn’t be necessary?
Best wishes,
David Glasgow
