I can’t get the buttons to become visible/clickable when the keyboard is up since the keyboard is blocking the buttons. Scrolling doesn’t help. I have to either hide the keyboard to click the buttons or press the Return key to insert the link.

We should do something, the easiest would be to move the body of the modal higher up the screen. There is a similar issue with the poll modal, I will look at fixing both.

This should be fixed via [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/423802fbce93c0cf98187b33a97d4edc9cdb34ee) from last night. Thanks for the report @seanblue!
