On-Screen keyboard does not automatically pop up

Reported by schul...@gmail.com, Mar 5 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Chrome on a Dell Venue 8 pro
2. Tap a text box
3. They virtual windows keyboard which automatically popped up in old chrome versions does not appear

What is the expected behavior?
The keyboard should have popped up

What went wrong?
The keyboard is only displayed if I manually launch it, not when I want to input text in chrome. The keyboard shows automatically in every other application

Did this work before? Yes I think in version 48

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

Forgot to mention: This device has no keyboard attachment, but in the windows device manager there is still a keyboard active all the time ("HID keyboard - driver for GPIO buttons"). Maybe that is causing the problem, because Chrome thinks that I've attached a keyboard?
This also happens on Microsoft Surface 3. Does not work in search box, url box and any inputs on websites.

I now also tried chrome one a  very generic windows 10 tablet, and the behavior is the exactly the same as on the Dell venue 8 pro.
Same here with a Surface Pro 4 (windows 10 Pro 64). No keyboard pop-up in text box

Adding --disable-usb-keyboard-detection will restore the keyboard pop-up with all side-effects of this switch.

see bug 491516
Same here with Surface Pro 3 and Windows 8.1. Older Chrome version(48) just works fine, but 49 not.
