Hi, seems the guy from the Google Chromium Team finally fixed it: 

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1022295 

 

It's now live for testing on the latest Google Canary #81.0.3997.0 

Hope Edge Canary will update to the new chromium core soon.

 

Btw. I see from your screencast that you're too using the old/legacy keyboard (registry-key: "DisableNewKeyboardExperience"). With the fix the virtual keyboard now properly invokes on textfields in lastest Google Canary, but doesn't close when leaving or touching on an empty space.

But with the new virtual keybord it works. Can you please test and confirm?

 

Thanks

Sorry, I'm only got a 1607 LTSB install on a sp4 currently and it doesn't have that regvalue.

The Chromium patch do work on that though.

 

Seems like it was a MS Employee that fixed it too.

Thanks to you for making the Surface usable again

 

Now we only have to wait to get it in canary and dev too
