Public bug reported:
I have always used an on-screen keyboard as a virtual keyboard for
entering text in a different layout than my physical keyboard. This time
I cannot, since I cannot manually trigger the new OSK.
Steps:
1. Open Firefox
2. Try to enter text in a different layout using the new OSK
3. You cannot make the OSK appear
When enabled, the new OSK appears automatically in Activities, but I
cannot trigger it outside GNOME apps. You have to enable the new OSK
first from Universal Access in Settings.
I consider this a regression from 16.04 LTS, where On-board is easily
triggered.
Workaround:
sudo apt install onboard
