[Bug 936310] Re: Some applications don't 'auto-show' onboard

[Jeff Sereno]

I've just observed that OnBoard does not auto-show on any textbox within
the Chrome or Chromium web browser (except for the URL text box), but
appears to (so far) work perfectly within all text boxes in Firefox.

Also OnBoard does not auto-show for any text box inside Virtualbox's
frontend (Obviously I don't expect it to work inside VM's themselves).
Not that we need a situation for OnBoard to work when using the
Virtualbox frontend, but any other apps under the same UI framework will
probably be affected too. Actual text entry with manually shown OnBoard
works fine - it's just the auto-show part that doesn't work.

I also echo that OnBoard fails to auto-show for the Unity Dash, but I
can type within the Dash if I manually show OnBoard first before
bringing up the Dash.

Versions of applications used:

- Ubuntu Precise 12.04.1
- Unity 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 (3D version - not using 2D)
- OnBoard 0.98.2-0ppa~precise~sysdef2
- Firefox 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
- Chrome 23.0.1271.91-r167501 ("google-chrome-stable" package from Google's "http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" repo)
- Chromium 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
- Virtualbox 4.2.4-81684~Ubuntu~precise ("virtualbox-4.2" package from Oracle's "http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib" repo)
