Hello,

In the Sato desktop, there is a virtual keyboard which you can bring up to enter text from a touchscreen interface. Once that keyboard pops up, how do you close it? I'm not seeing anything obvious.

I'm helping out with a demo at a conference and could use this info urgently.

Thanks,

Scott

Moving the focus from a text field will do it. I thought there was a keyboard icon on the panel which should explicitly hide it, but maybe not.

Negatory on both counts. Sounds like a bug?

Certainly does. Not sure how that regressed or how QA didn't notice. So clicking on a button or check box doesn't make the keyboard hide? Eek.

Eek, indeed! I just tested with the last bernard point-release, and it too has the same issue. I understand Sato may be going by the wayside, but in case anyone wants to fix this, I've filed bug #3093 for it:

There has been a bug open for this for years :(

Ross appears to have recently closed it as NOTABUG but I think he misunderstood the problem.

Cheers,

Yes, the bug said "exit". :/ I've taken the new bug Scott filed, and will look at it once I've started on the slides I'm presenting next week...
