Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the stated WinUI app configuration: WASDK 1.6.5, unpackaged, on Windows 10 1809 build 17763.5329. Compare touch focus on a TextBox with WASDK 1.5 and verify whether the touch keyboard appears without manually invoking ITipInvocation.Toggle(). Done means the keyboard appears whenever the text input is focused by touch.
