I have similar issue in various spots like here if I shrink the keyboard to use search

With keyboard closed

With keyboard open search input is blind

keyboard will also block/cover up the form template editor and a few other spots.

There is another topic about that Android keyboard overlaps/interferes text edit fields

Yeah I see we have a couple topics on this issue. With oldest I think from March 22?

Don’s theme component doesn’t fix it in the form-templates

I think the issue in this topic is not about the keyboard covering something, but about you being taken to the top of a topic (list) when you use a modal.

They look like they might be at least in part related in some way maybe?

At least going by the video.

I also noticed the jump to the top after using AI explain. It’s quite annoying because you lose your reading position.
