Bug Description

I used to use an older version of moonlight (1.5.8) and when I press on the back button on the remote control, I chose the Soft keyboard option and appears a keyboard immediately that allowed me to write on the computer by click. Now when i press this button pops nothing.

Since I updated moonlight to newest version (today) no longer appears.

Reproduction Steps

Start moonlight on webos with mstsc.

Press back button on remote control

Select Soft keyboard option

nothing happens

Expected Behavior

I can confirm this happens also on WebOS 7.4.
In my experience, it has always been unreliable: if I try to get soft keyboard twice in a row it won't ever appear anymore until I close completely moonlight

Ok, I found the culprit. Remote shouldn't be in cursor mode: After it's unengaged, you can press back and select soft keyboard using remote arrows. If it doesn't show up and you notice it's still in cursor mode, wait some seconds and press OK

Hi, there are some issues related to closing the soft keyboard, causing it can't be opened again. It will be fixed in the next release.
