I'm seeing some weird behaviour on 1.6.0-alpha06 with the soft keyboard: calling

LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current?.show()

seems to now open the soft keyboard regardless of if there's a focused text field. This seems to differ from 1.3.X behaviour, is the change intentional or documented somewhere?

please file a bug

I couldn't reproduce this with a trivial example, there's probably some other condition needed for it to happen. I'll see if I can narrow it down a bit. The keyboard acts like a hardware keyboard when opened

Did you have unfocused text fields on the screen? Material text fields or something else?

Hmm. There shouldn't be on that specific page, but the keyboard is opened & closed before the bug occurs. I tried removing the preceding text field, and it no longer occurs. Might it be that the previous session is not properly closed?

thanks!
