then the bug is more specifically "enabled" != "force shown every single time user touches and not disable-able"
in all other senses of the word, enabled suggest the keyboard setting would be toggled "on" in universal access by default in touchscreen machines. put another way, "onscreen keyboard not disable-able on touchscreen devices". any ideas why I wasn't plagued by this bug on 17.04gnome nor the latest fedora (gnome by default) with the same touchscreen device? im pretty sure fedoras gnome is up to date. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723857 Title: onscreen keyboard appears whenever i touch touchscreen Status in onboard package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm in 17.10.
