Hi there,
Over the past few days, my community has had 2 users report that the keyboard doesn’t appear when they attempt to create a new topic (using Android app).
- Has anyone seen reports of similar?
- Could it be linked to the latest Discourse updates?
User 1 comment (25th March):
”I want to post a problem with the android app AGAIN. However when I try to create a new topic, I am unable to type in it. No keyboard pops up at all.”
User 2 comment:
”I also experienced [the same] issue this week - but I didn’t screenshot it so couldn’t report it”

What version is the forum on? Does it occur in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)? Thanks.
I tried creating a topic and a reply (this one) in the Discourse Hub app via the in-app browser, as well as via Chrome, and both work.
