Virtual keyboard not working on Flatpak games

Open sambonbonne opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

When using a Flatpak game or software (installed through Steam Buddy), the Steam keyboard doesn't work (using a Steam Controller).

Steps to reproduce:

  • open a Flatpak game (example: Minetest)
  • select an input field (example: pseudo or password input)
  • open the Steam virtual keyboard
  • try to type something

Current result: the input field stays empty (or keeps its original content) Expected behavior: the input field should contain what we type

Does someone have the same problem or am I the only one?

Just FYI, I tried today too (as for Steam overlay bug, I hoped the update solved this one too) and the issue persists.

I tested on SuperTuxKart today and it works for me to input passwords and other input fields. Maybe it is specific for the game?
