This time I cannot, since I cannot manually trigger the new OSK. Steps: 1. Open Firefox 2. Try to enter text in a different layout using the new OSK 3. You cannot make the OSK appear When enabled, the new OSK appears automatically in Activities, but I cannot trigger it outside GNOME apps. You have to enable the new OSK first from Universal Access in Settings. I consider this a regression from 16.04 LTS, where On-board is easily triggered.
