Bug description:
[Impact]
on-screen keyboard cannot be reliably opened when running under xorg.
[Test Case]
1. Login into an xorg session
1. Open an application with text-entries (e.g. Firefox)
2. Try to enter text in a text entry using the new OSK
Expected results:
The on-screen keyboard should appear.
[Regression Potential]
The proposed fix requires a change in the way gnome-settings-daemon decides
to enable or disable ibus. Please make sure that ibus correctly works when
using a keyboard layout that requires it (e.g. chinese).
[Original Report]
I have always used an on-screen keyboard as a virtual keyboard for entering
text in a different layout than my physical keyboard. 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.
Workaround:
sudo apt install onboard
