How to get my keyboard back on mobile?

Android on a tablet.

I use split screen, text on one side, notes on the other. When first opening or creating a note my keyboard (gboard) pops up fine. If I minimize it or scroll through the text in the other screen, it disappears and touching back in the note doesn't bring the keyboard up again. I have to close out of the note and reopen it - horrible for longer running notes.

Is this a bug or limitation of the software?

I don't have this problem on iOS. An Android user will have to chime in.

Hi @Morgan ,

Yes, it's reproducible in Android Tablet with Android v15.

Workaround :

If swipe isn't working → Touch/tap the Note on Top Center to Unhide the bottom menus → Touch/tap Tabs.
Switched to other opened Tabs then switched back to Notes.

Not the best solution but better than closing and opening the Notes again.

Hope this helps 🙂
