While I can see this behavior on Thunkable Live, it’s no longer an issue for me when I install my app. What layout/sizing options are you using? Have you tried installing your app? ---

Is there a fix for this? The text input block has several problems when I use it: 1. You can’t easily navigate within the text input area as you would with other apps. When I tap at the end of the hint text, for example, the cursor doesn’t move from the start of the text. I guess maybe the hint text isn’t supposed to disappear when you tap on it but if it stays there, it’s confusing for the user. Or maybe I’m just confused! 1b. If I tap to enter text and then press return to hide the keyboard, I can no longer enter text at all. Tapping in the text input area does nothing. But at least the hint text disappears! 1. The screen moves up and gets squished, as described in this thread. I often can’t see what I’m typing. 2. There is no keyboard hide button so I have to enter text and press return if I want to dismiss the keyboard. ---

I got a solution that worked for me, basically you have to get the computed height onto a variable before the keyboard is called then set the web viewer to that height. i did it as soon as the page opened also, i saw you must add a small delay before getting and setting the variable. please reply if this works for you ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/b/3b87bf14205abacb9d7b9b2ef7edb8dd3ad5c023.jpeg) [Next page](https://community.thunkable.com/t/text-input-goes-up-when-typing/318473.md?page=2)
