I don't see any bug that this one could be merged into: Bug #1761554 [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 18 Bug #1691677 gnome-shell on-screen keyboard has no Esc Ctrl or Alt keys gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 6 Bug #1698515 On screen keyboard stays English even after changing language to Finnish gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 6 Bug #1772606 gnome-shell onscreen keyboard types wrong characters gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 6
These are obviously not related. Bug #1741843 caribou (gnome-shell osk): special characters not working gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 6 The present bug is not about Caribou. Bug #1721319 On-screen keyboard pops up with touchscreen even when physical keyboard present gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 22 This bug is specific to touchscreen configurations which is not the case of the present bug. Also it's about the on-screen keyboard popping up too often which is the opposite of the issue here. Bug #1760399 New On-screen keyboard cannot be manually triggered to appear gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 50 This is about having a button or command line tool to pop up the on-sreen keyboard. While I agree a button or command line tool would be useful this is not related to the present bug. In comment #6 Mario Vukelic does complain that the on-screen keyboard does not pop up when it should but that's off-topic for that bug so merging the present bug there would only confuse the issue. He also comments that this seems fixed in Gnome 3.30 but that does not help Ubuntu 18.04 ***LTS*** which only has Gnome 3.28. Bug #1791551 Activation of new on-screen keyboard in Gnome 3.28/3.30 is difficult to discover in Wayland and not possible in X gnome-shell (Ubuntu) 46 This is the closest bug but it's mixing up issues with Wayland vs. X, behavior differences with touchscreens vs. enabling the on-screen keyboard in accessibility, and appears to be more related to 18.10 whereas the present bug is specifically about a regression in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799515 Title: Gnome on-screen keyboard doesn't appear when a text field is focused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799515/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
