[UWP] HoloLens TouchScreenKeyboard closes ~4 seconds after focusing TMP input field

Universal Windows Platform

-

When selecting an input field in HoloLens2, the Keyboard will open but then automatically closes after ~4 seconds.

Steps:
1. Open attached project
2. Build for UWP and run on HoloLens2 (or HL2 emulator)
3. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter text into the input field
4. Close the Keyboard
5. Select the input field again to re-open the keyboard
6. Wait about 5 seconds

Expected: Keyboard remains open
Actual: Keyboard automatically closes after ~4 seconds

This bug is related to this issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/uwp-xbox-onscreenkeyboard-is-immediately-closed-when-selecting-inputfield. The fix (workaround WinRT bug with InputField::Show()) introduced a race-condition that's now causing this problem.

It's also related this this other issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/hololens-2-set-selection-throws-argumentoutofrangeexception. The unhanded exception is a factor in triggering this bug, but the root issue is a race-condition.

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2022.1):

    The fix for TMP ArgumentOutOrRange exception: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/hololens-2-set-selection-throws-argumentoutofrangeexception will also address this issue. The unhanded exception is one of factors leading to this problem. However, a separate fix for the root problem (race condition) is also being made.

    Same problem here in Unity 2019 and 2020 (tested up to 2020.3.33).

    I've been doing this:

    void Input(){

    if(keyboard.active == false){
    keyboard.active =true;
    }
    }

    Hello~
    I'm using 2021.1.12. Can't you fix it?
    Currently, the version with this issue resolved is not available because the package manager has not been called normally.

    Hey guys, if possible can we get this fixed in Unity 2019.4 first? Most of the people experiencing this issue will be working with the HoloLens 2 and relying on Legacy XR which is in 2019.4. Much appreciated.
