Another question about my new Android 15 tablet.

The on-screen keyboard doesn't pop up automatically when you click on
a text entry field.  What you get is an oval stripe with several icons
on it, one of which opens the keyboard.  I think this is the gboard
app running.  Is there a way to make gboard go straight to the
on-screen keyboard or do I need a different keyboard app?

Mine does normally open the keyboard (phone and tablet), there are a 
couple of apps which are *sometimes* reluctant ... screenshot?

Yes, on my phone it works as expected but on the tablet it
consistently opens the little 'oval menu' so it takes three taps to
get to a keyboard.

I've got around the problem by installing Simple Keyboard and using
that instead of Gboard, now it works exactly as one would expect.
