Hello,
having the same problem on a Lenovo IdeaPad/Yoga 2 13 (with touch screen): ubuntu 17.10 fresh install, the on screen keyboard (osk) always pops up. But ALWAYS in conjunction with the cursor being found in the lower left corner.
On the same laptop running Ubuntu 16.04.3 and 17.04 (running Unity) I had the nasty problem that always the trash bin opened (because the cursor jumped to the lower left corner - where the trash bin is located - and clicked) independent on what I was doing. That made the laptop unusable (running fine under Win 8, hence no hardware defect).
Now with 17.10 (Gnome) the trash bin is no longer in the lower left corner. But my feel is that the cursor is still jumping (and clicking) to the lower left, thereby 'calling' the osk. Again this happens that frequently that the laptop is unusable :-( really nasty.
Universal Access settings: osk = off (if I enable osk, then the desktop freezes!!).
The fix of Keringar prevents the osk from popping up - but the cursor still continues to jump to the lower left corner.... :-(.
