RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lili Huang 2020-08-21 08:19:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

OSK does not disappear sometimes by clicking [v] key (screenkeyboard3.MOV).
Even if the [v] key works, not whole OSK disappears, part of OSK still
remains on the screen (screenkeyboard2.JPG , screenkeyboard1.MOV ).

Customer is using a DMC USB Touch display and a Dell SmartCard Reader Keyboard. This issue happens no matter the physical keyboard attached or not.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- There is a similar bug on gnome upstream. And seems the fix is already available.

Yes. 2 bugs raised from the same customer. But I do not think it is the same issue.
In 1833787 customer complained he can not disable the OSK, but in this bug customer complained after click the [v] key, sometimes OSK does not disappear and even if the OSK disappear, a part of the keyboard still remains on the screen. The image and video attached to the case should provide you a better understanding.
And to some extent if the OSK can be disabled completely, this could be a workaround of this bug, because customer will not have to face this issue until he enable the OSK.
Comment 7 Tomas Popela 2020-09-23 13:46:42 UTC 
On our subsystem team meeting we approved this bug for 8.4 RPL.
Comment 26 Michael Boisvert 2021-01-14 20:24:08 UTC 
I thoroughly tested gnome-shell-3.32.2-27.el8.x86_64.rpm to look for any issues with the OSK. I did not find any usability issues like those outlined in this bug. I used a touchscreen machine running latest RHEL 8.4.0 and tested both Wayland sessions and X11 sessions. 

Lili, could you give the related package to your customer and have them test for posterity?
