Unfortunately the on-screen-keyboard accessibility setting is ignored 
on GNOME with no physical keyboard attached. A touch screen press will 
always trigger OSK if on a text-box. It appears there's no option to 
circumvent this.

 There's nothing here that is within our power to resolve, I'm afraid.

Got it, that's a pity. Thank you for the answer.
