Steps to reproduce:

Touching a text input field


Actual results:

Soft/Touch keyboard does not activate 100% of the time. The keyboard pops up on random text input field taps. Sometimes it appears on the first tap, sometimes it takes three consecutive taps, other time a long tap activates it.


Expected results:

Soft/Touch Keyboard should appear on first text input area tap 100% of the time. No other metro program I have used has this issue.

That bug seems to target WinRT, does it also apply to win 8?
Resolution: DUPLICATE → INVALID
Yes, "WinRT" is the name of the widget API introduced in Windows 8 for "Windows 8 style applications."

(This is confusing because it is so similar to "Windows RT" which is the name of the Windows operating system for ARM tablets.)
