Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Unity as of 2011-03-21 does not allow an accessibile keyboard such as Onboard Keyboard or Dasher to be used with the Dash Search box.
To reproduce this issue:
1. Install Ubuntu Natty Narwhal
2. Open a terminal to start Onboard Keyboard.
3. click the Ubuntu Logo to open the search dialog
4. click back to the Onboard Keyboard application.
5. Observe that the search box disappears when the keyboard is clicked.
This same result can be reproduced using Dasher. Both are applications designed to allow the disabled user to type without a hardware keyboard. Unfortunately, they can not be used with Unity, since the search box requires the hardware keyboard to be used.
