onboard fails to grab in some search boxes

Asked by kenn

In some applications with search boxes such as synapse application launcher, budgie desktop application search box, cairo-dock application search box and more, as soon as I attempt to type in, search boxes disappears immediately. How can I manage to type in those search boxes?

Try another application like Google. Is it the same there?

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 platform, gok is not present in the repository. But I tried florence, cellwriter, xvkbd, matchbox-keyboard. Only florence partially worked. At first launch florence can grab search box and manages to type in searchbox, but it fails to grab search on the second and later attempts, I have to relaunch both of them to manage type in successfully.

I suggest you report a bug. Add your testing results too. Something doesn't sound quite right

Can you help with this problem?
