Bug Description

Dell Venue 11 Pro Windows Tablet, (Touchscreen - no keyboard/mouse)

Screen keyboard works as expected on 21.10, on upgrade to 22.04 (or clean install) On screen keyboard works as expected in applications,but shows and does not accept input on authentication/logon prompts, keyboard does not appear to respond to any activity (Uppercase/special characters)

22.04 does not show screen keyboard at all during install (Can only be installed with physical keyboard attached)

setting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and restarting display manager (sudo systemctl restart gdm3) does not help.
