Bug Description
Currently using Xubuntu 15.05 Vivid.
Attempting to use a laptop/tablet hybrid 64-bit Intel machine in tablet mode (with onscreen keyboard.) Virtual keyboards work fine for all other programs.
Both vncviewer (vnc4) from the repositories AND replacing with tigervnc branched package fails to accept input from onboard or florence virtual keyboards. Mouse movement works as expected. Interestingly enough, when using the "right-click" or "Double click" feature of onboard, it is properly transmitted.

Anyone looking for a workaround can install the Windows version of TightVNC viewer via WINE, and it works fine, although it's not really a native option. For me, I don't really care, so long is the end result is a workable solution, so I'm posting this for like-minded people. Cheers!
