Hi guys. I have some trouble with a white space that appears in the bottom of my chat screen after I use the keyboard, as you can see in the following images ![3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/3/d3b1ea729d87f1a0ea309b221e7f06ef67ab560a.jpeg) ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/f/6fc0062e2be91ab599ecc52e7eb28de0c05a604e.jpeg) ![3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/3/d3b1ea729d87f1a0ea309b221e7f06ef67ab560a.jpeg) ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/7/8761c7aa4d631a6f87b6708d4edba8ea7e75219f.jpeg) Does anyone have a guess of what is happening here, and if there is a solution or workaround? Thanks in advance. ---

This looks like unexpected behavior. Would you like to share either a copy of your app or the blocks that you use for that screen. Also, you may want to report this on get hub if it is a bug. When bugs are reported the admin‘s are able to take care of them! ---

I am also getting some white line, in both android and ios live tests. Not sure in apk or ipa. It’s like ~12.5px tall. BTW, I covered it by setting the bottomost/last component’s bottom margin to -12.5px. Thanks! 😊 ---

Hi @kartik14, thank you for your suggestion, it is an interesting workaround. I added a row component at the bottom of the screen with absolute size 25 px, and set the margin to -25 px (in my case the space of 12.5 px was doubled). Although it is not the ideal solution, I am happier now with the app, so I will mark your answer as the solution. Thanks again! ---
