Bug 440195

SUMMARY

When using the virtual keyboard Maliit (maliit-keyboard) selected in Input Devices -> Virtual Keyboard, it is shown even when the physical keyboard is enabled.

I have a convertible pc which disables the keyboard when it folds behind the screen, but the virtual keyboard is always enabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install maliit-keyboard
2. Select it in Input Devices -> Virtual Keyboard
3. Focus an input field

OBSERVED RESULT

The virtual keyboard is always shown on input, even when the physical keyboard is enabled.

EXPECTED RESULT

The virtual keyboard should only be shown if the physical keyboard is disabled.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
