Keyboard hiding the text I'm tapping

[gmerb]

Since last update, my keyboard (Gboard, but same with Samsung Board) overlaps the text I'm tapping.
The apps doesn't get resized when entering a input field.

Any help appreciated.

Android 10
Samsung Galaxy S9
"Version de l'application : 2.24.1 (Build 6000593)
Version du serveur : 10.4.1 (Build 12691749316
Base de données : postgres
Version du schéma de base de données : 128"

In some condition, it seems that the app gets resized correctly (central button + reopen from background apps) , but if I close and open the app again, I get the same bug.
I can put some captures if needed.

Same problem on a pixel 7pro with the latest updates, both normal 2.24.1 and beta MM.

Sorry, this does not seem to be fixed in 2.25.0 on Android. Or am I misunderstanding the milestone?

[derzinn]

Can confirm that this issue also exists in version 2.25.0 on Android.

Dear @amyblais - is this considered fixed in 2.25.0? If so, please take another look and let us know if you need more info. Or do you prefer another bug report?

No. The only relevant setting I found is on:

hi. on version 2.25.1 we have the same problem with users.

This is still valid in 2.25.1 installed from f-droid store!

Hello, I investigated this issue as the user experience is currently severely degraded for our Mattermost users with Android 10 phones. After doing some tests on my fork, I found out that the regression was probably introduced by this fix:
#8565.

Indeed, if I understood well, the app sets android:windowSoftInputMode to adjustNothing for screens using the ExtraKeyboard and uses events to adjust the screen with the soft keyboard size. However, if you refer to the React Native documentation:

Note that only keyboardDidShow and keyboardDidHide events are available on Android. The events will not be fired when using Android 10 and under if your activity has android:windowSoftInputMode set to adjustNothing.

I hope this helps and that you can provide a fix soon. I'll try to look for one but am afraid it goes beyond my current understanding of the app. Many thanks for your great work!

@Alain-B thanks for the pointer.. will try and push a fix early next week and discuss internally to have it included in a dot release.
