Bug Description

I've been struggling to use my raspberry pi with a hardware keyboard connected.

I have some software engineering experience and would really love to know even just where the source code is that controls the touch keyboard.

- When the touch keyboard displays, touch events that are outside the keyboard are shifted up on the screen, away from their visuals, such that random events can happen when the screen is touched.
- I do not see a way to disable the touch keyboard, making navigation of forms difficult.
