Bug Description
The very first day I got the M10 tablet into my hands I opened the Libre Office text editor as I needed to create a document. Surprise, surprise: mission impossible - I need en external keyboard! I can't write with the onboard keyboard :-( Having no laptop I did the very same job with the Nexus 10.
Fine so I couldn't use the tablet as a laptop though "convergence" promises me it. Today I wanted to write a longer article on a web page. On laptop I always do it in gedit to not lose the text in case the Internet connection fails. So I opened the gedit of my M10 and... could NOT write. You know, I could understand a complicated Libre Office program. But Gedit? Convergence?
I understand the word "convergence" this way that the tablet should make me free from my pc, and as You show it in advertisements "laptop bags". Don't You find it funny now that I DO need a bag to be able to transport a keyboard and a "screen"(tablet) AND... don't You find it easier to take that 10 inch Dell Inspiron of mine?
Convergence is a nice word but either it is still in an early development stadium or someone forgot what it actually should mean.
