    Description

      Qt 6.7.0 is no longer opening the system keyboard on Android devices with remotes, so nothing can be entered. This issue is not present in Qt 6.6.3 or 6.5.5

      I tested on 3 different "Android TVs" - the common denominator being they all use a remote.

      With this minimal test app:
      ---------------

      import QtQuick

      Window {
          width: 640
          height: 480
          visible: true

          TextInput

      {         anchors.centerIn: parent         height: 200         width: 300         text: "Input field"         color: "black"         focus: true         horizontalAlignment: TextInput.AlignHCenter         verticalAlignment: TextInput.AlignVCenter     }

      }

      In all cases behavior is identical.  This runs as expected with 6.5.5 and 6.6.3, but doesn't bring up the keyboard on 6.7.0
