If you go to "onboard settings" , the app, and select the general tab, what is the status of the check box marked "Show When Unlocking The Screen?"

I noticed that disabling the onboard keyboard myself did NOT untick this box.

Confirming this bug.

Steps to reproduce: (On first execution , this bug will appear. If you disable the lock screen on screen keyboard, it will not appear on future executions.)

1) Enable onboard through using "onboard" in dash
2) The onscreen keyboard should appear
3) Using the indicator, select "QUIT"
4) The onscreen keyboard should disappear
5) Lock the screen
6) Start to Unlock the screen: The keyboard should appear in the bottom of the screen.

Workaround:

Select "Onboard Settings" from the Dash
Untick box on general tab that reads "Show When Unlocking The Screen"

Suggested resolutions:

1: We could disable all those boxes when someone selects "QUIT" from the app indicator
2: We could more clearly detail that quitting the app indicator is not necessarily quitting the on screen keyboard.

Suggesting this be marked "Low" and "Triaged"
