Hi all, I wanted to share some very simple but very telling test results about what’s happening with layout rendering on Android builds right now. If you’ve been pulling your hair out wondering why your pages suddenly clip through the bottom of the screen or why scrollable pages no longer scroll t…

Serious Responsive Layout Bug Still Unresolved – Business and Financial Damage Hi everyone, I’m posting this to share my experience and hopefully bring more attention to a critical issue that’s been affecting many of us building Android apps with Thunkable. Since August 13, 2025, a major responsiv…

Thanks for sharing your experiences, Javier. At this point, it’s clear that this is preventing multiple developers and companies from maintaining their apps or earning revenue which is a real shame as Thunkable is a fantastic tool for rapid mobile development when it works. Anyone else seeing this…

Hello Grant, Thank you for sharing this. To be honest, I’ve also had my fair share of headaches with Thunkable’s layout. I can’t remember exactly when, but I definitely went through the same frustration trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. The solution? I eventually learned how to work wi…

Hi Maurizio, You’re 100% right that workarounds are a huge part of any developer’s life! That said, this particular case goes a bit beyond a typical layout quirk. The same design worked flawlessly for years across multiple Thunkable versions, and then a recent platform update changed how Android …

Hi @grant.mccallum I am sorry that the previous workaround hasn’t worked for you. I have found new workarounds. So for the first issue, I believe that because the borders take some pixels, I suggest setting the height of each container to 48%. For the second issue, a workaround is to add a third…

Done a bit of testing with this as I need to update a few apps and as you say opening them in this current build kills the layouts which were fine previously. It appears to be an issue with the status bar interfearing with the layout sizes so after quite a lot of trial and error with different sett…

Hi Martin, Thanks a lot for taking the time to dig into this and for sharing your testing and blocks. I really appreciate the effort you’ve put in here :+1: I’ve tried a very similar approach myself and I agree with you on the core observation: the status bar is definitely interfering with layout …
