[Interest] On-screen keyboard on Windows desktop

[Curtis Mitch]

OK, I can reproduce it now. That’s pretty bad.

I’ll create a bug report for it (internally, as we have no public Jira component for it currently).

As a quick workaround, you could remove the plugin (plugins/platforminputcontexts/libqtvirtualkeyboardplugin.so).

I just realised that I unchecked the Enterprise Add-ons when I installed Qt, so I’ll try installing them as well and then see if it happens.

Heh, interesting.

That’s definitely the Qt Virtual Keyboard. I’m not sure where exactly to look (since you said that QT_IM_MODULE is not set), but for some reason it’s being loaded. Like I said though, it doesn’t happen to me, and I tested Designer using the same Qt version as you (I assume you’re using an enterprise version of Qt if the VKB is showing up).

Here's a picture of what I see:

It's only in Qt Designer and Qt Assistant that I see it (but I don't use Creator). It's only since 5.5. It's not in our Qt application.

It's not the Windows assistance on-screen keyboard.

We have at least two machines behaving this way. They are set up for English - Australian.

What's the value of QT_IM_MODULE?
