After a bit more testing I nailed down some more specifics of the issue
I am noting including reproduction steps and I found a consistent method
to "make it work" however it just continues to break.  Hopefully helpful
for identifying and resolving the issue.

Reproduction:
1.  Start onboard with "Force on top" and "Auto-show while editing".
2.  Open Dash.
3.  Type in dash, onboard does not appear

Results:
Onboard opens but moving the mouse hides onboard it and never returns on search box selection.

Expected action:
Opening Dash and selecting search field should open onboard.

Potentialy helpfulfor troubeshooting to mimic "working" behavior sporadically:
1.  Quit Onboard
2.  Repeat reproduction steps 1-3
2a.  Start onboard with "Force on top" and "Auto-show while editing".
2b.  Open Dash.
2c.  Type in dash, onboard does not appear
3.  Open Gedit
4.  Select inside gedit window, onboard appears
5.  Click free area of Desktop, onboard hides.
6.  Open Hud (left alt on physical keyboard), Onboard appears and is functional inside hud.
7.  ESC hud
8.  Click free area of desktop
8.  Open Dash, onboard appears and is functional.

While this "works" its sporadic and the bad behavior returns after
switching between other applications/normal use.

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
