I have seen this bug in Ubuntu utopic too.

As a work around, you can enable the option "Show floating icon when
Onboard is hidden" in the General tab of the Onboard Preferences window.
This way, you can make Onboard reappear by clicking on the floating
icon.

Title:
  onboard loses the focus when attempting to type in Unity Dash

Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard:
  New
Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It's impossible to use Onboard onscreen keyboard to type in the Unity
  Dash search box unless onboard is set to 'Force Window on Top' in the
  Onboard preferences. Setting this shouldn't be necessary as onboard
  should automatically pop-up when the user selects any object that
  needs text entry.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Start onboard on a computer with a touchscreen with the onboard setting 'Force Window on Top' disabled 
  2. Touch the Unity 'search your computer and online sources' to open Dash
  3. Touch the 'Search your computer and online sources' search field to begin typing

  Result:
  Dash takes the focus away from onboard, meaning it's impossible to type in the Dash search field

  Expected result:
  I should be able to use onboard to type in the Dash search field, without needing a physical keyboard or other workarounds

  Workarounds:
  In Onboard preferences set 'Force Window on Top'
  Use a physical keyboard (defeats the purpose of Unity as a touch interface)
