I found old posts and couldn’t find the solution. I already pointed out in another post, but I have the problem that when the keyboard appears the layout coordinates are lost. ![d14ff7e8-4544-48b0-8295-07a932eb7348](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/3/d318144f776b4a0068118e59fe73f0180324d21f.jpeg) ![allineamento](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/3/63d5c58bb79e75db78c6478a628feefa3b388ceb.png) Here I put a link to an old solution that I cannot find in the new web editor > [@\[Reopened\] Keyboard changes screen layout](https://community.thunkable.com/t/reopened-keyboard-changes-screen-layout/681411/58): > > I made it work! Thanks Guys! Thunkable engineers knew exactly that they were doing with this platform. Almost everything you need to design your app are provided, just think and manipulate things and it will work. I took my time and persistence to work around thing and I got the solution and worked perfectly. Anyone having the same issue should just change their layout elements Height to “Absolute” then use your “Padding” control to adjust your layout on the screen. Thanks so much for your car… ---

Set your screen to scrollable That should resolve this issue. In an app that I recently published, some users messaged me saying the same thing. What I did was enable scrolling on screens in which there was texting puts. This seemed to fix the issue for me. ---

This is what I chose to do when I needed it, but I don’t always want the screen scrollable, so what I do is ‘when input clicked’ \> set screen scrollable to true And ‘when input unfocus’ \> set screen scrollable to false ---
