# UI Bug: Screen flickers after dismissing keyboard in File Description Format

## Description

There seems to be a UI issue in the **File Description Format** setting.

When navigating to:

**Settings → Other/Miscellaneous → File Description Format**

the keyboard opens as expected. However, when I press the **Back** button to dismiss the keyboard, the UI starts **flickering**.

I reproduced the issue on multiple android devices, so it doesn't appear to be device-specific.

The attached video shows the issue on one of the phones, where the **flickering is quite substantial**. On the other phone, the flickering is much less intense or in one it does not exist, but the **keyboard still does not act normally when attempting to dismiss it**.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open the app.
2. Go to **Settings**.
3. Open **Other/Miscellaneous**.
4. Select **File Description Format**.
5. The keyboard opens.
6. Press the **Back** button to dismiss the keyboard.
7. Observe the screen.

### Information

The device shown in the attached video is running android 11

### Source

F-Droid

### Format / File type

Not specific

Research direction

Reproduce the issue through Settings → Other/Miscellaneous → File Description Format, then inspect the screen's keyboard-dismissal behavior on Android 11 and another device. Done means pressing Back dismisses the keyboard normally without UI flickering.
