Fresco type tool and keyboard on iPad

I have the hardest time getting the keyboard to pop up in Fresco. Using a brand new iPad Pro. I press the little keyboard icon below the text and most of the time it does nothing. Occassionally the keyboard actually pops up, but I can't seem to find rhyme or reason.

 

Anyone else? Plus it must be a dumb question, because I can't seem to find any tutorials on using the Text tool, other than being included in basic tutorials where it shows the character settings, which I get.

Do you get the auto-minimize show up on the left or absolutely nothing at all?
If you get the little circle with the pen showing on the bottom left corner you can tap that to open options then tap the three dots and turn off auto-minimize. That should then always bring up the panel in the middle with the five options. I'm pretty sure you'll have to tap the keyboard there as well. So one tap on the keyboard symbol below the text box will bring up another panel for you to again tap the keyboard symbol.

 

Additionally if you have a keyboard connected to the iPad, it might work the same way as the keyboard button on the desktop, it just opens and you can start typing.

    It's quirky. Sometimes working, sometimes a mystery.
