Keyboard not Automatic anymore!?

I have had my tablet for about six months. Everything had been fine then all of a sudden, my keyboard won't pop up automatically anymore.

It used to be that in text entry fields, when I click on the field, the keyboard would pop up AUTOMATICALLY ...WITHOUT having to manually touch the toolbar keyboard icon to pop it up manually.

Anyone have any help on this??? I have looked everywhere and no solutions work.

Thanks!
