On screen keyboard now working on Surface Pro 3
I have upgraded to Windows 10 and moved from Chrome to Firefox. However when I select any text input field in Firefox, the on screen keyboard will not appear when I'm in Tablet Mode without a physical keyboard attached. The on screen keyboard works fine in all other apps.
I didn't have Firefox before the upgrade to Windows 10 so not sure if it's related to this or not.

thanks for bringing this up, i can reproduce it on a device with a pen input (regardless if win10 is in tablet mode or not) and will file a bug report for it.
edit: turns out this is already worked on in bug #1007063

I spoke to Microsoft Surface Support today. They said the issue is because Firefox have not released an update for Windows 10. Chrome did it yesterday but Firefox haven't yet. They said this would fix the problem. Don't know if it's true or not.

Thanks Philip, that bug report made interesting reading. Sounds like a complicated issue. The developers provided a short term workaround near the bottom of the thread, so that was really useful.
