I can confirm this. Possibly a duplicate of bug #1760399 and bug #1791551. Worth mentioning too that there are other issues with the OSK on Ubuntu (bug #1761554).

But after upgrading gnome-shell from 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 to 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 the on-screen keyboard stopped coming up when focusing a gnome-terminal or gedit window. The only place (I found) where the on-screen keyboard still comes up is in the text fields of the shell such as the search field in the gnome overview. Details: * The on-screen keyboard was explicitly enabled in accessibility. * None of the caribou and onboard packages are installed. * Only two packages were upgraded between the working and broken configurations: gnome-shell 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 gnome-shell-common 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 ---> 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 * Bug #1589240 is similar but very old and was closed with instructions to reopen a new bug if needed. * The test environment is a VMware VM which does have a "real" keyboard and does not have a touchscreen. I don't think that justifies the change in behavior, particularly given the inconsistency between gnome-shell's text fields and the others.
