SUMMARY

It appears that konsole is almost unusable on touch screen tablet device when
enabling maliit, because any attempt to touch scroll to see the full output of
whatever previous command will trigger the maliit keyboard to come back up and
take up half of the screen. The keyboard should only be triggered with a click
(= short touch in place), not from a touch scroll drag nor from a long press
for the context menu.

My apologies if I'm misunderstanding how this is meant to work, but e.g. using
Phosh + GNOME Console this doesn't happen and touch scrolling is possible
without any keyboard coming back up.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Use a device with touch screen
2. Install KDE Plasma and enable Maliit touch screen keyboard
3. Open konsole window
4. Tap into konsole window for focus. Maliit should now come up (this is
expected and useful).
5. Enter some command that causes lengthier output and press enter on Maliit.
6. Close Maliit to be able to read the full output.
7. Now use your finger to scroll back in konsole. You'll see Maliit immediately
comes back up.

OBSERVED RESULT

Touch scroll causes Maliit to come back up, which seems highly undesirable.

EXPECTED RESULT

When the konsole window is single tapped or first time brought to the front,
maliit shows up. When touch scrolling, it doesn't. This would also mirror how
it works with GNOME Console and Phosh, and it also mirrors how text inputs
behave with Mozilla Firefox and KDE and Maliit.
