[Bug 936310] Re: Some applications don't 'auto-show' onboard

 

Confiriming auto-show issue with dash in Utopic with version
1.0.0-0ubuntu4.  Settings confirmed to "Force on top" and "Auto-show
when editing text" however opening the dash and editing never triggers
the onboard to appear.  Works everywhere else.

Title:
  Some applications don't 'auto-show' onboard

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

Bug description:
  I'm testing onboard 0.97 in 2 different computers (one with oneiric:
  0.97.0+tr756-0ppa~oneiric1, another one with precise alpha2:
  0.97.0-0ubuntu1), both of them with auto-show when editing, show when
  unlocking, show tooltips, always on top.

  Most applications work fine with the new 'auto-show when editing'
  option, but I've found a few 'text applications' with wrong behaviour:

  - If onboard is hidden, they don't unhide (the right bevaviour is unhide)
  - If  onboard was automatically unhided by another application , they hide onboard (the right behaviour is do nothing). Please note that in case of onboard was unhidden by a 'manual' clicking on onboard's icon, those applications don't hide onboard (right behaviour)

  I post all of wrong applications I've found in only one bug, if you
  prefer I can file different bugs.

  - opening the dash: this bug is different than #915250 , and this new bug is present even in unity-2d and with 'always on top' marked
