Thanks for reporting this issue in.

Thanks,

Hello Frank, 

thanks for getting back to me. 

Yes, unfortunately the issue is still present in Canary v80.0.319.0, plain tablet with no physical keyboard attached. 

Maybe I should mention that I'm using the legacy touch keyboard (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7\DisableNewKeyboardExperience DWORD: 1) 
We need this in our company for compatibility reasons. 

 

Would be great if the team could fix this before the next Dev build. 

 

Thanks

 

Update: Just received v80.0.320.0 and the issue is still there, keyboard shows up in address bar but not on any input-fields. 

I disabled the legacy keyboard and did a bit of testing with the standard touch keyboard, and it's working on some pages (bing, google), but not all, and doesn't work in settings page or edge://flags
