Case 1
If you are editing a simple text document and you closed the keyboard accidently, you can not just retouch in the inpit-field to re open the keyboard. You have to touch somewere else and than back in input-field to reopen it.
Case 2
"Save as" dialog. If you editing the name of the file that you wont to save and you closed the keyboard again accidently, you can not just re-touch in the inpit-field to re open the keyboard.

I've looked into this and believe we can do it, as long as the click changes caret position.
First question is, do we want Onboard to show on every click? The hide button is there to get Onboard out of the way, for whatever reason. I believe just looking through a document should be possible without obstruction on every click, accidental or not. So I tend to think we should try it for Case 2 only, i.e. for single line text entries (anything but ATSPI_STATE_ MULTI_LINE) .
Mirzet, the other question is, is it too easy to hide Onboard accidentally? Which button are you trying to press when that happens? Note that the move button of v0.98x isn't working properly on touch screens. This is fixed trunk.
