On screen keyboard does not pop up

[Daniel Schürmann]

When using a touch enabled laptop it is expected that a on screen keyboard pops up when tabbing on the search box.
This does not work by default with Ubuntu Bionic.

It uses the the environment QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

The workaround is to install these packages

qml-module-qtquick-virtualkeyboard
qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin

and start Mixxx with:
QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard ./mixxx

Now the OSK pops up whenever the search box becomes active.

VLC is affected in the same way.

I can confirm that, when touching the search box in Mixxx, the on-screen keyboard doesn't pop up for Fedora Workstation.

So I tried a few tests...

If you're viewing Mixxx in "fullscreen view," the onscreen keyboard doesn't open in front of Mixxx; it opens behind the Mixxx UI.

But, if you use Mixxx in "Maximized window," the onscreen keyboard shows up in front of Mixxx.
