Have you tried clicking on the little keyboard docked on the upper left hand corner of the mobile client?

This is not a mobile client, but a Hope Industrial Touch screen connected to an HP Thin Client PC.  
There have been previous issues with Ignition text components not recognizing a touch screen configuration. V7.5.10 had this issue with pop up text input component.
