Hello,

Wondered if someone could help.

Each time I create a TextInput and preview it, when clicking on the input area the keyboard fully covers the area in which the user would type.

Is there a fix for this?

Hi @mauk,

Can you let us know what UI components you are using (and what devices you are testing on) so that we can try and replicate this behaviour?

Thanks

Hi I am having the same issue 🤔 Thought I would reply here instead of creating a new topic!

Here are screenshots:

I clicked on the Tax on holiday pay input. This happens. I have the column that all of the widgets are inside of set to scroll able and fit contents.

Slightly unsure what to do!

Would much appreciate some help on this.

Thanks.

My problem is the opposite of this, everytime I open my keyboard everything goes up, and the buttons and TextInputs get messy 😕  
Just like this:

Cause keyboard appears as a component was added,so resulting in those components’ margin are messy?
