Bug Description

I have seen this in the autopilot tests.

At the start of the test suite writes an override file so maliit-server starts with testability, it then stops and starts unity8.

The first test that starts after that usually fails:

 - Test app starts with a text input.
 - Text input is tapped giving it focus
 - The Keyboard partially pops-up but flickers away
 - (If I see this happen, I try to manually tap on the input, the keyboard still doesn't appear)
 - The test fails because the keyboards state never becomes 'SHOWN'

I've tried out a work-around which is to sleep for ~10 seconds after restarting unity/maliit and this seems to work, but is gross.
