Does the same argument apply for virtual keyboards interacting with hidden windows? Assuming they also get hidden, it's still easy to know what is being typed from the pointer's position. The average user would assume that the virtual keyboard is being hidden due to it being focused on the hidden window, and they'll likely not even consider that the pointer position is giving away what they're typing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
