Keyboard is always on, even when switching between screens. Clicking elsewhere in the app also is not dismissing keyboard. I had to put “dismiss keyboard” block to force it. ---

It is probably saying that the keyboard appears when it shouldn’t appear. It happens to me too and I have to put the Dismiss keyboard block because there is no other way ---

Exactly, the keyboard usually was automatically dismissed. ---

Can you explain what you mean? In my experience in iOS, when I tap outside of a text input field, the keyboard disappears. ---

Interesting… right after I posted that, I previewed a project in Thunkable Live and the keyboard won’t disappear. So I guess I’m experiencing that, too. Oddly, when I Live Test your project, the keyboard _does_ disappear when I unfocus/click elsewhere. ---

If the text box is inside a row/column then you need to click outside of the container (row/column) for the keyboard to dismiss. ---

Thanks for that detail, @muneer! I’m able to replicate this behavior easily in a snap to place project with Rows and Columns, and in a Drag and Drop project with Groups. I’ll write up an internal issue about this. Thanks to everyone who contributed here! ---
