Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Focal, the OSK never appears for me under Xorg
- Does not appear automatically when selecting text fields
- Cannot be summoned on-demand by swiping up from bottom screen border (which
worked on Eoan also under Xorg)
Under Wayland, both these things continued to work after the Focal
upgrade if the laptop is in tablet mode (but not if it is in regular
laptop mode - not sure if this changed on upgrade).
I could repro this on two "2-in-1" fold-able laptops:
Dell XPS 9575 2-in-1
Asus Zenbook flip UX561UD.
(Note: There was an older bug #1760399 about OSK not working under Xorg,
but this one was fixed in Cosmic)
