My brain initially thought this was #7495, but that was about the arrow keys not working on the virtual keyboard, not it failing to appear.

Then I came across #2055, #3639 and #4689 which are all basically the same report, but we thought they were fixed in #1919 and #4867.

I guess it's time to dig out the old Surface Pro 3 and see if we can get a repro.

Triaged into 2.0. This is important.

@zadjii-msft just out of curiosity, what device do you usually use?

I don't mind getting ping'd on the holidays, it's mot like I'm about to check my mail on vacation 😆

My work laptop is a Surface Laptop 2. My Surface Pro 3 is a personal device that I bought a while back, but it's still kicking. Handy for testing bugs like this that won't repro on the slaptop.

Wasn't able to get this to repro on my surface book with the screen detached 😕, though I tested it on ver. 1.9.1942. @mcandre Do you think you could try this again and see if you experience the same issue?
