[Bug 1402787] [NEW] Ubuntu Desktop Next does not show on-screen keyboard when needed

 

Public bug reported:

When booting the amd64 daily iso of the Ubuntu Desktop Next image on a
tablet, I am unable to get the on-screen keyboard to appear by tapping
into a textfield. Without this functionality, it is impossible to use
the terminal, the search, or perform basically any task that would make
the operating system useful on a tablet.

In my humble opinion, whatever logic you guys use for displaying on-
screen keyboards in Ubuntu Touch on phones and tablets should be
available in Ubuntu Desktop Next when there is no physical keyboard
attached.

** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu)
