Virtual keyboard on login screen

For some reason, virtual keyboard of the lock screen and the login screen began to appear at the top instead of the bottom of the screen as it used to be. Now it closes user information, time and date, which is very inconvenient.

Hi,

@Andrey Kozlovskiy : I have the same problem as you. :-(

Do you have also problem that the virtual keyboard vanished when you do search in the system settings or in the search bar of the menu ? I posted a bug report.
Comment 3 Alan 2020-10-22 11:24:17 UTC 
I missed to say that I have these problems under wayland session.
Comment 4 Andrey Kozlovskiy 2020-10-22 13:41:03 UTC 
@Alan : Virtual keyboard doesn't work for me at all when I activate it under Wayland through the system tray ("On-Screen keyboard activated" popup is shown when I click on tray icon).
Tested on latest KDE Neon with Plasma 5.20.1.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-10-26 17:10:32 UTC 
Can confirm, both X11 and Wayland. As a result, the keyboard covers up the password input field. :(

move keyboard positioning in the keyboard itself

there was a behavioral change in qtvirtualkeyboard, where now it
reparents itself to the root item (done by purpose to make sure is
always on top of any overlay), not respecting the parent's geometry
so move it in the kwyboard widget itself
