On screen keyboard support in X11 apps is work-in-progress  -->

Thanks for taking the time to report the issues you had! A few of them I
think are known, but I could not find them on the bugtracker. The only one
I could find is the one related to on-screen-keyboard in X11 apps.
If you don't mind filing the rest (that'd be awesome!) I'd recommend having
a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ to see if there's anything similar,
and if the bug is not reported yet, use
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Avengers
or
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug
to file new ones :)

Hope that helps,
Andrea
