           Summary: On-Screen keyboard overlays typed content (e.g. on
                    Konsole)
           Product: Active
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Plasma mobile shell
        AssignedTo: notmart at gmail.com
        ReportedBy: colomar at autistici.org

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

For example when the Konsole screen is full and the prompt is at the bottom,
the user cannot see what she types because the keyboard is over the prompt.
This is likely to be the case in other situations as well.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konsole
2. Start "top"
3. Quit "top"
4. Start typing

Actual Results:  
You cannot see what you're typing

Expected Results:  
You should see what you're typing

I see two ways so solve this:
1. Reduce the window size when the keyboard is opened (seen that on several
mobile OSes). 
 Positive: Happens automatically without the need for user interaction
 Negative: Changes the window geometry every time the keyboard is displayed or
hidden
2. Make the keyboard re-positionable.
 Positive: Doesn't change anything else
 Negative: User has to move the keyboard manually
