1. Open system settings and go to accounts.
2. tap on 'Google' to add a google account
3. When the login page opens drag down the indicator bar from the top
4. Now try to type into the username/password boxes.

What happens:
OSK does not appear to type in there.

I initially thought that this was related to Oxide, but it isn't: it also happens with account plugins which don't use Oxide at all (like UbuntuOne).

My guess is that there is something wrong with how the OSK, indicators and trusted sessions work together. Adding to unity8 for investigation.

[Josh Arenson (josharenson)]

This seems to be a regression in online account services. When I use the rtm branch, this issue doesn't exist. Investigating anyway, as the root cause could easily end up being unity8.

[John McAleely (john.mcaleely)]

This is claimed as the root cause of OEM bug #1412397. I'm not sure 'triaged'/'medium' is appropriate.

@pat - can you triage this for canonical-devicesl-system-image please?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

@josh this is definitely reproducible in the rtm branch

@david these seems directly related to the non-standard way the login page is displayed in the separate online-accounts-ui process

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

We are using the standard Ubuntu Webview:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts/vivid/view/head:/plugins/module/WebView.qml

This not related to the webview, please see my comment #2 again: also U1 is affected.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

See also bug 1421353. Pay UI is also using trusted sessions, so this is most likely a focus issue when trusted sessions are being used.

@pat I am unable to reproduce this any longer. Locking/unlocking the device, and exposing notifications both correctly hide/show the keyboard. Do you still see it? Should mention that I'm on devel-proposed/mako.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

I still see it in both cases, latest devel proposed on krillin and recent image on mako

[David Barth (dbarth)]

I can't reproduce the problem anymore on mako/vivid (as of image #129). However, this is still very much a problem on krillin stable (#19)

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

marking fixed as it does not occur on vivid

[Noemí (noemi-gallego)]

Hi, I have reproduced it while entering a facebook account or a ubuntu account from telegram to active the notifications. I am currently testing on r19.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

I think it will stay as a known issue in the current RTM release, until we switch phones OTA with vivid in the next few months.
The issue is annoying, but users can easily get back to a known working state, by restarting a signup session.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Marking this as fix released for unity8 since we're under the vivid OTA now.
