Onboard does not work in Ubuntu 11.10 (only appears in top bar)

[Paul Sladen]

Here on Ubuntu 11.10, Onboard doesn't load usefullly for me. Running 'onboard' causes it to appear in the top panel, but clicking or any other action does not show it. To reproduce:

  1. <Super> to open Dash
  2. type 'onboard'
  3. click on Onboard

What happens:

  4. Observe that Onboard icon appears in top bar

What should happen:

  4. There should be a way to open and get the actual on-screen keyboard, allowing input processing (the purpose of the software).

(Onboard is appearing as a menu, but clicking the "Hide Onboard" option does nothing).

Could you please try whether the bug still occurs in the new version available in my PPA?
