[Bug 1648593] [NEW] Keyboard usualy not showing up in apps after unlocking the screen

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,
for the last month or even more I am experiencing this weird bug with OSK not popping up after putting my phone to "sleep", that is locking the screen and then unlocking it. It mostly happens with Telegram to me, as that is one particular app that I keep running all the time, but I've experienced this in other apps (including my own) as well and therefore expect it not to be related to Telegram at all.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any app (like Telegram) - OSK should pop up and work upon clicking on any input
2. Lock the device (shut the screen down)
-- The length of the phone being asleep seems to have little influence on the actual OSK keyboard behaviour - it seems to be pretty much random --
3. Unlock the device
4. Switch to the previously opened app if you are not there already

Sometimes it is hard for me to reproduce this while other times I seem
to be bumping into this every time I unlock the screen - so it is not
something I've seen once or twice in my life but is pretty much common.

To fix this behaviour switching out of the app and back to it again
usually works, though sometimes restarting the app is the only way to
get the OSK working.

I am on rc-proposed, MX4

Thank you very much for looking into this
