I have Ubuntu 18.04 on a Lenovo Yoga 520 laptop, which has both a keyboard and touchscreen. When working in touchscreen mode, the screen keyboard shows up in most programs, but not in Firefox, for instance when I want to type something in the address bar.
Is there any way to correct this error and make the virtual keyboard show up in Firefox?
Alternatively, is there any way to force the screen keyboard to show up, e.g. by means of a keystroke or something?

I was just having the same problem on my HP Spectre 360. The screen keyboard seems to only automatically appear for gnome terminal and the text editor, nothing else. I started just trying things and a swipe up from the bottom of the screen makes the keyboard appear. It has a button with a down arrow (more of a small v actually) to make it go away again.
