Dear Maintainer,

it is impossible to search for location on Mobian posh PinePhone.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Tap on Search for a city or country
2. Start typing name of the city on on-screen keyboard.
Expected behaviour:
Search bar is updated with text typed.
Actual behaviour:
Search bar disappears once on-screen keyboard is tapped for the first time to
type first letter or shift or basically anything.

Best Regards,
Marek Bel

I also have this problem on both the pinephone and librem5 running
mobian. I believe all the actual packages directly involved
(gnome-weather, squeekboard) are directly from debian bookworm with no
patches from mobian, though there may be underlying graphics libraries
that carry patches.

I have worked around the issue in the past by using an external hardware
keyboard, but this is a bit suboptimal for a handheld device!

Once you have a location selected, overall gnome-weather works quite
well with the touchscreen...

Hi,

Le 26/07/2023 à 20:02, Vagrant Cascadian a écrit :

gnome-weather is a GTK4/libadwaita application, none of which are
patched Mobian packages (FYI, the full list of those packages is
available at https://packages.mobian.org/)

This is actually a generic issue with using GTK4 apps, at least with
phosh/phoc: as soon as you touch outside a popup window (even if it's on
the on-screen keyboard) the popup gets closed; this sounds remotely
similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5115, even though
the latter is a GTK3 problem.

I haven't investigated the root cause so far, so I'm unable to tell more
about that, but this is likely a GTK4 bug, or maybe a compositor issue.

Cheers,
Arnaud
