bkb50: softkeyboard appears always

Zampano — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 19:25:03 GMT

Hi, any idea on this?

Issue is rather new: as soon as I move via touchpad to a new cursor position (e.g. in a forum post on a web page like here, in a IDE like AIDE or in Word) the softkeyboard appears although I'm successfully using my BKB50 keyboard.

I'm missing the little keyboard icon on the bottom right taskbar that used to be there.

Reboot does not help.

Anybody else with a similar issue and probably a workaround?

Thanks a heap

Warm regards

Do you experience the same while on safe mode?

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately the onscreen keyboard still comes up. But now the keyboard icon in the bottom right corner was available again. There is a switch that suffers some speaking translation to German. It is labeled "Hardware. Show input method." By disabling this switch the softkeyboard does not come up any longer.

Thanks again for pointing to the saftey mode.
