Public bug reported:
It's impossible to use Onboard onscreen keyboard to type in the Unity
Dash search box unless onboard is set to 'Force Window on Top' in the
Onboard preferences. Setting this shouldn't be necessary as onboard
should automatically pop-up when the user selects any object that needs
text entry.
How to reproduce:
1. Start onboard on a computer with a touchscreen with the onboard setting
'Force Window on Top' disabled
2. Touch the Unity 'search your computer and online sources' to open Dash
3. Touch the 'Search your computer and online sources' search field to begin
typing
Result:
Dash takes the focus away from onboard, meaning it's impossible to type in the
Dash search field
Expected result:
I should be able to use onboard to type in the Dash search field, without
needing a physical keyboard or other workarounds
Workarounds:
In Onboard preferences set 'Force Window on Top'
Use a physical keyboard (defeats the purpose of Unity as a touch interface)
