It looks like this: Today I downloaded the same app with NO changes at all and I have this result: Literally I didn’t do anything from last week to today and now every s…

> Some people have had problems with squishing of components as the keyboard appears, but this is a feature ( a feature or a bug?) I was working with to my advantage. I now find that, without any changes my keyboard appears but covers the onward navigation button forcing the user to first hide the keyboard before proceeding. So, although my components were not being squished, they were being moved up the screen to where the user could still see them above the keyboard. Can I get this back or has i…

> I was actually searching around on the community forum to find out if there will be a solution to this issue, but from all the discussions I found on the community no solution have been found or arrived pls thunkable engineers should look sternly into this. The issue persists for past 8month and there has not been any solution. Am sure the issue must have caused a lot of users loss of income due to the issue. Pls help us look into it. Each time a text input is pressed, the keyboard pushes the …

> Hello friends, I hope you are very well. I would like to know if any of you have had this problem? started a few days ago. Pressing a text input opens the keyboard but deconfigures the entire screen. This does not happen in thunkable live, only when installing the app on android, I have not tested on iOS. I leave a comparison image.

> The point is that the keypad has to show. So it will either push out the layout (scrolling out up the top), squeeze out the rest of the screen (which is the current situation), or need to cover up the bottom part of it. Apparently, this last option is the one you favor. What you can do then is temporarily make the arrangement (either column or row or whatever) smaller by changing its height to be less than what it contains. If the component is top justified, then everything that exceeds the no…

> Hi If someone out there could give me some help on this I would be really grateful; The project Ive been working on for the last 6 months or so uses a text input in the centre of the screen arrangement with a row of buttons along the top and a row along the bottom. I made the layout so the bottom row contains buttons for functions not relevant for use while text input is in use. Up to a few days ago when the text input was opened the keyboard covered the bottom row of buttons. I haven’t chan…
