[bug] Android text editing: can't move cursor handle, overlaps with word suggestions
asked 2014-12-29 20:19:11 +0200
In some Android apps, mostly the browser, text fields end up touching the upper border of the keyboard. When placing the cursor in such a text field, the arrow-shaped handle that is used for dragging it around is unusable because it overlaps with the word suggestion row of the keyboard. That is the part of the interface that reacts when tapping the handle. This means that in these situations, it's like being in the native browser: we can't edit text and fiy typos properly because placing the cursor right is nearly impossible. I don't know what a fix for this would look like - I suppose on Android phones, the cursor handle just never covers any part of the keybaord...
This also bugs me, as the text input field is in usual directly over the keyboard. :-(
