Touch keyboard doesn't toggle between numeric and text when a html input is selected in kioks mode

Question

Touch keyboard doesn't toggle between numeric and text when a html input is selected in kioks mode

Alejandro Gomez 0

I'm runnin a windows 10 machine in kiosk mode with edge full screen, and the web app uses 2 types of input, numeric and text.

When the numeric one is selected the touch keyboard should toggle tu numeric but this doent's happend.

In the same machin running a non kiosk account works even in full screen, then the kiosk mode is enabled the touch keyboard doesn't toggle any more.

this is the target in shorcut of edge to start in kisko mode:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk mysite.com --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen

How can I make it to toggle automaticlly?

Examples

In this case the numeric input is selected and the touch keyboard has the numbers on top. User's image

In kioks mode the toggle doesnt happend User's image

How to reproduce it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>Toggle touch keyboard between input types in kiosk edge mode</h1>

<form action="/action_page.php">
  <label for="quantity">Text input</label>
  <input type="text" id="textinput" name="textinput" >

  <label for="quantity">Numeric input</label>
  <input type="number" id="quantity" name="quantity" >
  
  
</form>

</body>
</html>

Create a edge shorcut and add the text in the target input:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk https://alexkine.w3spaces.com/inputtogglenumeric.html --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen

Make sure your touck keyboard is enabled

Hi @Alejandro Gomez,

Thank you for editing, but your site for reproduction doesn't seem to be accessible. You may need to make it public or add a minimal code example for us to reproduce this issue.

Hi @Alejandro Gomez,

Thank you for the code example. I can reproduce this issue as well. Actually, this issue does not only occur in Kiosk mode, but also InPrivate mode. Interestingly, Kiosk mode also uses InPrivate mode, so this can be related to some sort of problems with InPrivate mode and Windows touch keyboard.

I can also reproduce this issue in Chrome (both Kiosk and incognito mode). So, technically it seems to be related to all Chromium browsers. Unfortunately, AFAIK there's no workaround to this issue. I suggest you create a post for Chromium Dev Team: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list.

For Edge Dev Team, you can send feedback by Alt+Shift+I in Microsoft Edge.
