Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver development branch
Onboard 1.4.1-2ubuntu1

An onscreen keyboard comes installed by default, but it's not very usable
* Lack of buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1755987
* Pipe doesn't work 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1755985
* Uppercase is broken 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1755983

I tried changing the settings for the onscreen keyboard, selecting the "Full" 
layout (instead of "Compact"), but found the settings did not take effect even 
after a reboot.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1755988

Then I ran onboard from the launcher, and the full keyboard appeared at the 
bottom of the screen *constantly* and resized the rest of my screen smaller.
With the full layout, uppercase works, and so far it seems fine.

However now whenever I click on any window that has a text input, the
buggy compact onscreen keyboard appears over the working full layout
onscreen keyboard.

I actually like the behavior of the buggy compact onscreen keyboard's
ability to show/hide as needed vs the full "onboard" keyboard displaying
constantly.

So right now it's a bit of a mess, sorry if I should have reported each
issue as part of a single bug report.

Desired outcome:
1. The automatically displayed keyboard should respect the settings (eg: the 
layout) set by onboard-settings.
2. If I run onboard manually, meaning it stays at the bottom of the screen 
constantly, another instance should not automatically pop up over it.
