What Happened?

Hi! I got the shiny new Starlite V device with elementary preinstalled. But on tablet use I almost never get the OnBoard keyboard to show up! I played with the options available and barely managed to get it to screen few random times. But it is completely useless at this state. Any tips, tricks, drivers ... ? Is this touch keyboard considered mature? Thank you so much.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Grab the tablet. No keyboard attached.
  2. Tap in a text field anywhere you like. elementary's own apps or anything else.
  3. Screen keyboard does not show up. Not even by manually turning it on in the system tray or the settings.
  4. Tampering with auto-show, location and other settings may randomly prompt it to appear but in a very random unpredictable, and completely unusable manner.

Expected Behavior

The screen keyboard should show up whenever a text field is selected. Or when manually turned on at the very least!
