This issues would need to be reported to bugs.kde.org. Just sending an email 
stating "people have mentioned issues on webpage xyz" is not going to help. 
Maybe this is something where you can help, as you obviously care about 
plasmaboard?

Also, the copy of plasmaboard on kde-apps is outdated, there's a newer version 
in kdeplasma-addons in the past releases, which should have at least 8 months 
more fixes.

As to the issue "has to be placed in a panel", we're using the keyboard in 
Plasma Active as its own container, in some panel-like popup, which mostly 
works automatically (modulo some corner cases :/).

Cheers,
