[Bug 1495118] Re: OSK anchored buttons are difficult to click

 

I think the bug has similarities with the bug  #1486008 "[sdk] leading
actions width is too small making it very difficult to press"

This is because the hiding animation starts when the area is pressed,
but the action is only triggered on release. Due to a quirk in QML's
mouse areas release event don't get emitted if the finger is no longer
inside the relevant mouse area when the release happens (in this case
caused to the mouse area having been moved by the hiding animation). So
the release event is never emitted and the action isn't triggered.

Title:
  OSK anchored buttons are difficult to click

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As described on document "ubuntu-screen-keyboard-tricks", see the link
  below, you can anchor action buttons to OSK so that they will remain
  visible above the OSK. However at the moment it is practically
  impossible to click them because they fall down too quickly with OSK.
  Either you do a very very fast click or place your finger over the
  button and after OSK has disappeared slide your finger again over the
  button and finally release it. Aren't these action buttons meant to be
  click-able when they are above OSK? Now in practice they aren't.

  A small sample app with OSK action button to demonstrate the problem...
