onscreen keyboard not working

[Redmar]

How to reproduce:
-Go to the top right and enable the onscreen-keyboard
-Try to use the onscreen keyboard to give in the password, it does not work.

What I expected to happen:
I expected to be able to login using only the on-screen keyboard.

Additional information:
It looks like the focus moves to the onscreen keyboard the moment you hover your mouse over it.
How to reproduce:
-Click on the password field, and start typing (on your physicial keyboard). You see stars appearing to indicate the typed characters.
-Now, while typing, move your mouse to the onscreen keyboard
-Notice that no more stars appear in the password field, which suggests that your key-presses are no longer sent to the password field
