Sato virtual keyboard - how to close it?

Sato virtual keyboard - how to close it?

[Scott Garman]

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 :(

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149

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

Cheers,

Richard

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...

I have had this problem with sato for a long time that explains it.
