Bug Description

1. start a new sms thread.
2. tap inside the message box
3. send an sms from another phone

What happens:
The OSK hides and you have to click again into the message input box to bring it back

What should happen:
The appearance of new notification should not hide the OSK

sidenote: I tried the same thing in Unity dash and the problem did not happen so its something specific that messaging app needs to take care of.

This is extremely annoying, we definitely need to fix. I thought it was system wide but as omer points out, it doesn't happen in the dash with the keyboard open. Must be that the notification is causing the input field to lose focus for some reason.

This actually occurs in all apps other than the shell. If you are focused on input field and osk is showing when notifciation occurs the osk will be hidden. This happens in browser, messaging, notes, address book and probably others.

Must be a system wide thing in the shell or window stacking.

summary: - The OSK hides when a new notification appear while typing a message

does this happen on the unity-mir configuration ? (i don't have a gsm sim card so can't test easily)

you can actually reproduce this bug without a sim card.
simply install the inotify-tools package, log as phablet and type: notify-send test

Still happens with mir (enabled it by running "touch /home/phablet/.display-mir; sudo reboot")
It seems the notification is stealing the focus from the app.

FWIW the package containing notify-send is libnotify-bin not inotify-tools
