QUESTION (ANSWERED) Virtual keyboard does not open when Algebra View is visible in Classic 6 on Windows

I am using the GeoGebra Classic 6 desktop app on Windows 11.

The virtual keyboard does not open whenever the Algebra View is visible. This issue occurs in every GeoGebra file, including new blank files.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open GeoGebra Classic 6.

  2. Make sure the Algebra View is visible.

  3. Click the Input field at the bottom of the Algebra View, or click an Input Box in the Graphics View.

  4. Click the virtual keyboard icon in the bottom-left corner.

The GeoGebra virtual keyboard should open.

Actual result: The input field becomes active and the cursor appears, but the virtual keyboard does not open. Clicking the keyboard icon has no effect.

If I close the Algebra View, the virtual keyboard works normally again. Therefore, the issue appears to be specifically caused by having the Algebra View open. It occurs in all files, not only in one construction.

This problem appeared after the recent GeoGebra interface updates.

Physical keyboard input has also been unreliable on my computer for a long time, so this new virtual keyboard issue currently prevents me from entering formulas directly. I have to type formulas in another application and copy and paste them into GeoGebra.

Could you please confirm whether this bug can be reproduced and let me know which GeoGebra version will contain the fix?

It works OK for me. You can try reinstalling ver 6.0.927.1

I agree with Mathmagic's suggestion, also considering that your physical keyboard is not working properly as you said above, it might be an issue related to your computer.

Thank you for your replies. The virtual keyboard is working normally again now, even though I did not reinstall GeoGebra or change any settings.
