Description Michael Wood 2013-04-24 20:08:35 UTC 
Even though there is a selection for the OSD to be enabled it doesn't present it's self.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2013-07-03 13:06:41 UTC 
OSD? OSK I guess you mean.

It shows up if I manually enable it from the a11y menu, but 1) it takes a long time to start 2) it doesn't type anything when I type on it 3) it won't hide itself when I press the keyboard button on the OSK itself.

Tested with F19 GA (after installation from the live CD)
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2014-02-25 04:55:35 UTC 
needs to be fixed in gnome-shell
Comment 3 Giovanni Campagna 2014-03-10 21:14:43 UTC 
There is nothing in gnome-shell that would prevent it working.
Maybe it needs the caribou-autostart desktop file in the initial-setup whitelist (which is shared with the GDM one)? Or maybe the a11y-settings gsd plugin?
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2014-03-10 22:45:42 UTC 
sounds very plausible. back to g-i-s
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2014-03-12 02:11:36 UTC 
the actual fix needs to go in gdm, see bug 726143
