[Web] Chinese Pinyin keyboard does not display an on screen component

A discussion and basic description of this bug may be found at the following Community site link:

https://community.software.sil.org/t/needed-assistance-for-chinese-chinese-mandarin-keyboard/2449

Key highlight:

For example, if I use another keyboard (e.g. russian), after focusing into the input field, keyboard is displayed. As result I have to type in with a real English keyboard to see chinese suggestions with IME. That is not what I’m expecting to see.

Created around the time of 12.0 stable.

Note: updated original problem description to more accurately reflect the original bug report; appears this is with Windows keyboard not Web keyboard.

Okay, so it is the web keyboard. So because no OSK is shown, the user has to change their base keyboard. There are some limitations with how base keyboards are supported already in KMW, so our mileage may vary.
