Comment 6 for bug 443986

Neo,
Great finding!

Following is extracted from the florence README at
http://florence.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=florence/florence;a=blob_plain;f=README;h=3702410b440d2d39c8022735b0589cbc00dc7f25;hb=HEAD

"If Florence is not in "always on screen" mode, it will appear when
you click on an editable
widget (like the address bar in epiphany or the text area in a text
editor). When you click
on an uneditable widget, Florence will disappear.
If you don't like this behaviour, you can switch to normal virtual
keyboard always on
screen"

The full git repository is at
 git://florence.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/florence/florence

Now we need to locate the relevant auto hide code and implement it in onboard.

Best regards
Lukas
