Title:
On-screen keyboard (OSK) no longer opens with touchscreens (Wayland +
Xorg GNOME session) unless enabled in accessibility settings
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since GNOME 3.35 packages made their way into the focal repositories, the
on-screen keyboard no longer opens when touching on input fields or swiping
upwards from the bottom edge of the screen. It does not matter if the Wayland
or Xorg session is being used.
To use the on-screen keyboard, the user has to enable the on-screen keyboard
in GNOME's accessibility settings first. Unfortunately this setting causes
other issues, since the on-screen keyboard then also opens when the user
selects input fields while using a keyboard and a mouse.
Everytime the user decides to switch input devices, the accessibility setting
has to be toggled. This was not necessary in previous GNOME releases (3.34 and
earlier) and shouldn't be necessary.
Even though the issue seems to be known already upstream
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2378), it still
harms the touchscreen experience of Ubuntu 20.04 quite significantly.
I am affected with three quite different devices, so this bug does not seem
to be specific to a single hardware configuration.
