On my laptop (Thinkpad L520) it doesn't work. Curiously, when swiping up with mouse the OSK doesn't come up when Chromium is on the view, but it comes up when on desktop. The OSK pops up fine on terminal, login field and text editor. It also doesn't work on Chrome.

[Test Case] 1. Login into an xorg session 1. Open an application with text-entries (e.g. Firefox) 2. Try to enter text in a text entry using the new OSK Expected results: The on-screen keyboard should appear. [Regression Potential] The proposed fix requires a change in the way gnome-settings-daemon decides to enable or disable ibus. Please make sure that ibus correctly works when using a keyboard layout that requires it (e.g. chinese). [Original Report] 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.
