Onscreen Keyboard in Xorg cannot be summoned by swiping up on the screen

[Juan Martinez]

-- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
-- gnome-shell 3.28.1-0ubuntu2

When user is logged in using Wayland, swipe-up gesture cannot be used to summon the OSK. Problem is non-existent on Xorg.

This has been reproduced on multiple devices, leaving the user unable to use the OSK in many situations.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you test if that's still an issue in cosmic and if it is report it upstream as well on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues

Wayland is not our default session/recommended, do you plan to base work/customer projects on it?

[Juan Martinez (cubislo)]

Confirmed same issue exists in Cosmic. Reported to upstream (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/831)

We don’t intend to deviate from Canonical’s defaults for OEM projects unless necessary, but want to make sure that all issues are resolved when the defaults "are" Wayland.

Hi all, I made the regrettable mistake of logging the issue incorrectly; will open a new ticket

I thought this bug report was fine aside from the above incorrect wording. Feel free to reopen it (change the Status value) if it's still a problem for you.
