Keyboard in UT disappears after wayroid is started
-
Hi!
After starting Waydroid, the keybord in UT is not usable anymore. It does not pop up as it is supposed to do when it is needed. Even in the terminal app it cannot be started. This does not change after stopping waydroid, either.
(I'm using a fairphone 3, 24.04-1.x, daily).Inside the Waydroid container the android keyboard works as expected.
Only solution so far is to restart the whole phone.
Is there a way to start the from the terminal, so I could put the command in the bash history to be able to start it manually as a work-around?
A bit at a loss ..

Hi!
Looks like I 've found a work-around myself:
pkill maliit-keyboard && maliit-keyboardseems oo work. It kills the keyboard-server and restarts it, works from the terminal app, and keyboard is started in other apps as well
.
But why does the keyboard vanish at all? A bug in the waydroid start routine?EDIT Oops, no, it's not consistent...

here FP5 24-04-1.2 stable, I don't see this problem. So 'logically' it could be a problem either in the version or the port.
