The virtual keyboard does not appear on tapping the speech bubble on Harmattan PR1.2 about communi HOT 5 CLOSED

i have submitted an update (1.1.6) to ovi store qa review. hopefully it solves the problem... should become available in 5-7 business days.

It did not solve the problem.

This might not be a Communi problem. However, it could be that Communi needs to work around the problem. It could be about the TextField not getting visible with

    onClicked: {
        textField.visible = true;
        textField.forceActiveFocus();
    }

Just a wild guess but making it invisible and losing its focus first COULD help.

hmm, that looks like old code. in the latest version (1.1.6) it should be:

        onClicked: {
            textField.visible = true;
            textField.openSoftwareInputPanel();
            textField.forceActiveFocus();
        }

nevertheless, makes me think if the latter two should have been the other way around ie. forcing active focus first and then forcing the sip to open. anyway, on pr 1.1 the explicit call to openSip() is not required at all but sip opens automatically when the text field gains active focus. i'll take a closer look when i get my hands on pr 1.2. i'm also happy to accept a patch if you are willing spend a moment and help out with this. :)

This workaround is actually tested on PR1.2 now that I have it... :)
