I cannot confirm this on my machine. I do not know if what I see it
intended behavior, but what I see is still not what either the Gnome
2.28 release notes or the Ubuntu help say should happen.

When I enable the OSK in universal access, the OSK opens way too often but not 
always when it should. This is same in X or Wayland:
- Opens when typing on keyboard into Activities or Applications search box. (I 
don't know if this is good behavior for universal access, but it is not good 
behavior for general touch use: When I type on the keyboard I don't need an 
OSK. )
- Opens when I touch into Activities or Applications search box. (OK)
- Opens when I start a gnome-term even before I touch it or type into it. But 
it does not open when I switch focus and touch into an already-open gnome-term. 
(Not OK)
- Does not open with Firefox or Chrome. (May be technically unavoidable, but 
then requires a way to open the OSK on demand)
- In Wayland, swiping up of from the bottom of the screen opens OSK. This does 
not work in X and I don't see another way)

Turning OSK off in Universal access, the behavior becomes better for
general touch use as the OSK does not uselessly appear when typing, only
when touching - at least in those cases when it does. Otherwise the
behavior is unchanged compared to being on in Universal Access.
