Hi Team,

I have an issue when using the thunkable app on my Android device, that when I click on an input field, the numerical keyboard shows then quickly disappears. If I press on the input box again it comes back and stays there for the duration. It does not matter if I use a scrollable screen or not as I thought it might happen when the screen squashes together.

Is this a bug or is this just part of the thunkable app and will go away once published as I do not want the user to have to press on the input twice every time?

Thank you,

Paul

Hi @thorntonp72l3, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out our posts about [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1) and our [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8) as you get started.

If you’d be willing to share the project or show us some screenshots of what is happening, we can better assist you. I just checked on a project that uses the text input and Android and I am not able to replicate this issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. It does not seem to do this on an iPhone so maybe its just my android device.

I will try another and see what happens.

Thank you
