I don't think I changed the 'Force window on top' setting before I used onboard for the first time, but I can't be sure. Maybe there should be a warning pop-up when disabling this option? I guess if there's no other solution with the way Dash works then there's nothing to do.

Setting this shouldn't be necessary as onboard should automatically pop-up when the user selects any object that needs text entry. How to reproduce: 1. Start onboard on a computer with a touchscreen with the onboard setting 'Force Window on Top' disabled 2. Touch the Unity 'search your computer and online sources' to open Dash 3. Touch the 'Search your computer and online sources' search field to begin typing Result: Dash takes the focus away from onboard, meaning it's impossible to type in the Dash search field Expected result: I should be able to use onboard to type in the Dash search field, without needing a physical keyboard or other workarounds Workarounds: In Onboard preferences set 'Force Window on Top' Use a physical keyboard (defeats the purpose of Unity as a touch interface) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: onboard 1.0.0-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-36.63-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-36-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Sep 28 19:56:37 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-16 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) SourcePackage: onboard UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1375028/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
