Messaging: Keyboard slips up and hides entered text
asked 2017-07-22 00:39:20 +0200
I can't remember exactly what was the first Sailfish version when this issue started but I guess the 2.0 , and it is still exist unfortunately, so annoying. (I made some screenshots of the issue as well.)
So the problem usually happens when the message app was opened with the cursor in the message line so you can see the virtual keyboard or when you received a message and you want to answer straight so click on the message and it will open it with the keyboard (same thing). If you turn the phone (at the same time when the keyboard is appearing!) from portrait to landscape or from landscape to portrait the screen can slips 1 or 2 rows upwards or downwards or just everything disappears of the screen apart of the keyboard. If it slipped up and you are typing, everything above the keyboard will jump up and then down after every single typed character. If it slipped down you won't see what you are typing because the cursor is gonna be behind the keyboard and all the messages are showing 1 or 2 rows downwards on the screen. Or sometimes just simply the cursor and also all messages gone, you can only see the keyboard. You can type but you won't see what you are writing...
The quick solution if you just turn the screen 90° and back everything is fine again...
I am using Intex Aqua Fish (like Jolla C).
Please solve this problem in the next update if possible. Many thanks!
The bug is still there in the new update (2.1.1.23) ! :(
EDIT:
THE BUG IS STILL THERE IN 2.1.2.3...!!! (So annoying bug! Why so hard to fix it?)
The bug is still there in 2.1.3.5 (Sailfish X) , Nice one!
So the screenshots:

The strange thing is, I meet with this problem every day just I was a bit lazy so far to report it. But considering that bug has been reported (ok, sorry I haven't seen that report before that is why I haven't voted up) but so far only 3 user voted it up... I don't think so anyone has taken it seriously.
But in my opinion this bug is bug and I can't believe only 4 user met with it, because the message app is one of the most used app + easier to type in landscape mode, if you know what I mean...
liqquid ( 2017-07-22 17:52:19 +0200 )editMay I can suggest do change the title of this issue. The title "Still existing bug in the message app" just doesn't describe anything relevant. What about "Messaging: Keyboard slips up and hides entered text" :)
hoschi ( 2017-07-24 11:36:57 +0200 )editIt would be too long if I would like to describe the bug exactly. Because not just slips up and hide the texts, most of the times the entered text slips up and down after every typed letters as I mentioned, and sometimes everything just gone from the screen except the keyboard... So this issue is more complex. But I see someone amended the topic already, I don't mind... The only think what I care that to be fixed, and it is still there in the 2.1.1.23 :( ...
