    Grisha_L I can also confirm this happens in every text field within the browser regardless of physical keyboard being attached or detached. This also occurs regardless of tablet mode or not.

      Hi obi55,

      I can confirm this issue, happens on both my machines (surface, Windows 10 v1903 & non-surface tablet with active stylus, Windows 8.1). 

      Then pen doesn't fire up the virtual keyboard, neither in address-bar nor any text- or input-fields. 

      And worst of all, starting with Canary v80.0.318.0, even touching with the finger to bring up the keyboard is broken now 😞

        Thanks!

        I created a bug and we'll be taking a look at it once we are done with existing commitments.

        FYI, the SIP showing up in response to pen/touch is expected only when there is no hardware keyboard is attached. If the keyboard is attached it is by design that the SIP would not go up.

        Neon01 I just tested touch issue on 80.0.319 Canary and the SIP shows up as expected (with no hardware keyboard attached).
