Keyboard does not show up when working with multiple windows

[NeoTheThird]

When I open a second window in the browser, I don't have access to the keyboard until I close the previous window. A workaround is to open the keyboard in the search on the homescreen.

Not reproducible here...

[lduboeuf]

sorry but still happens here on my BQ4.5 update#6 .

[lduboeuf]

as a work around, i bookmarked a search engine and use it ( keyboard appears with input forms)

[NeoTheThird]

@Flohack74 can you try again? Are there any logs that might be useful for @lduboeuf to attach?

[Flohack74]

Yes will do. @lduboeuf can you send a video? To be sure I do the same steps

[lduboeuf]

sorry for the proposed work around. i still need to kill other browser window before.. i will look at logs as soon as i can. step to reproduce: in top-right menu, click on "new window" then focus on addressbar, keyboard is not shown

[Flohack74]

Ok now we are talking. I never use this menu to open a new window, I swipe from the bottom for a new window, and there it works...

So I confirm this also on E5, interesting. Any of our devices affected?

[lduboeuf]

yes, what you are doing is opening a new tab, but don't allow you to be in private mode.

We have another bug about the keyboard not working proper when you open a private window, is this exactly the same?

[NeoTheThird]

Good catch @ChloeWolfieGirl. You can reference issues using # and the number, or just typing the name to search and hitting enter when the right issue comes up, btw.

[NeoTheThird]

This seems to happen on all devices. When trying to reproduce, keep in mind to open a new window, not a new tab.

I experience this on Pro 5:

1. Open a browser
2. Open new private window
3. Try to enter URL: no keyboard visible.
4. Switch to previous window (short swipe from right): keyboard is there
5. Switch back to private window again: keyboard is OK now.

In fact, I don't have to close the previous window - just switch it back and forth.

[Flohack74]

This happens now also in Dekko 2 test build. Shall we shift this issue to the keyboard component tracker? And this may be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1623861

@Flohack74 I think this is more a window focus issue in qtubuntu than an issue in the keyboard component, so I don't think moving it there will help.

This bug was not present on the last canonical stable release.

[mihaelmilea]

It is working now for me on turbo, devel, r36. Thanks!!!

I LOVE IT! =)
