This is a duplicate of the iPad issue, replicable with search in a topic. You better be at the top of the topic, or you are hosed.

> Let me know if you can also reproduce this. So far I’ve tested on iPad Air 2, Safari and Chrome: Go to a topic long enough that you need to load a new batch of posts Scroll to the bottom of the topic Click the search button, then click the search field to invoke the virtual keyboard The keyboard should go off-screen Won’t work on mobile because we immediately go straight to full-screen search there.
