I'm trying to get the on-screen keyboard of gnome working in Eclipse IDE (because it has some character/emoji gallery easily available). However, it looks like while I can have screen keyboard on many apps, I never see it in Eclipse IDE, for any kind of widgets. I'd expect this to work for text widgets and for the editor.

This seems to be working now with latest Fedora and Eclipse IDE. However, there are some glitches in the on-screen keyboard itself that make it hard to use, but I could see the same glitches with other applications, so nothing Eclipse IDE should be blamed for apparently.
