There are mice on the market that claim to be keyboards as well. This
inhibits OSK. We can try and find out how many keys they have and be
smart about it.

Regardless, we should have a way of forcing the OSK, especially on
touch-enabled devices. Whether it's triggered by a touch (as opposed to
mouse click) on the text area, or with a button in the text field
(replaced with the clear icon when you start typing). Another option is
the copy/paste dropdown.

We should also define what happens when focusing a text field after the
user forced the OSK to show up. Does it come up every time until the
user dismisses it? Or only when they force it?

== original description ==

1. Boot nexus 7
2. In the login screen, test that OSK works by tapping the password textfield
3. swipe keyboard back down after testing it works
4. Turn on Bluetooth mouse to get a mouse cursor
5. Click on password textfield

OSK doesn't pop up, touch tapping on the field doesn't bring up the OSK
anymore either.

ie. The login screen is not usable with mouse connected - cannot type in
password via OSK since it doesn't come up when clicking the password
textfield with mouse.

See attached screenshot. Focus on textfield. Would expect OSK to show
up.
