hey @ashleyharvey

this seems to be a duplcate of #4632
only difference on first reading is that you specify the keyboard you use

Sure looks like it. Mine has some different/important details -- e.g. I show how to work around it which may help devs find the bug faster, and also the steps to reproduce the other one are more complex than mine. My issue happens 100% of the time but in that other one it sounds like one needs to minimize and maximize the app first?

Anyway I'm sure it's the same issue, thanks for pointing that out. Should I close this and just add my comments and video to the other one?
