iPad Pro on-screen keyboard despite using Logitech Create

I was quick to connect a Logitech Create keyboard to my iPad Pro once I had both in hand. The Create keyboard has worked according to expectations.

However, of late I noticed that when I an using various apps that the iPad Pro on-screen keyboard blocks half of the screen even though I am typing with Create. When I clear the Pro on-screen keyboard I am not able to type with Create until the on-screen keyboard is restored.

Is there a known solution to this distraction? I just arrived in Rome and absent an office environment have not noted the apps associated with this problem but it at least includes Safari but not Chrome.

I also have this problem with the iPad Pro. When using the Apple Smart Keybaord case the onscreen keyboard appears.

I remember a long time ago when I had the second iPad and attached a bluetooth keyboard the onscreen keyboard went away. Perhaps this is a glitch that will be fixed in the next os update.

Ok. I think I may have accidently solved this issue.

I opened the Ulysses app which is a writing app. It hid the on-screen keyboard with the Apple keyboard attached. Then when I went back to Safari it stayed hidden.

Strange.

I have had fewer problems in the last 24 hours but cannot report a 'fix' as such for what I reported in the OP.

Try clicking the globe in the bottom left corner of the keyboard until you see the emoji onscreen keyboard. Then tap the button on the bottom right of the emoji onscreen keyboard (a keyboard icon with a down arrow). That should hide the onscreen keyboard and allow you to use the physical keyboard. A workaround until Apple fix what is clearly a bug.

Did the keyboard key, bottom-left of the Create keyboard, not work for you?

Same here, after updating to iOS 9.2.1. Really annoying.

No longer an issue, I followed Jasons advise which did the trick...

Great - I pressed the key in the lower left corner of my keyboard and the problem was fixed. Thanks!!

Hope it stays that way...

The tip does not work for me. If I hit the hide keyboard button in the lower right as suggested, the second I start typing, the on screen keyboard pops back on the screen. It is extremely annoying.
