Bug Description

I have a lenovo X230 Tablet, so it has a touch screen and wacom pen input.

Expectation:
When I activate the Universal Access settings for the onscreen keyboard (Which I think is the most convenient update I've seen). I expect the keyboard to appear when entering text in applications.

What Actually Happens:
The keyboard will only appear when I search at the top bar in the activities view.

Other Details:
I've gotten it to appear all the time randomly, but I think it may have only been when I booted from an external usb. I am on Version-Release: Gnome 14.04 Alpha 2
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)

This probably isn't the right place to do this, but I also think that if there was a Ctrl key on the on screen it would be great, because that limits its applicability to the terminal application.

(This is my first bug report, so if I'm posting in the wrong places let me know)
