Description

The Issue

When typing out a comment, the keyboard covers the area where the comment is being typed.

Steps to reproduce

  2. Go to a comment form
  3. Click the input field
Expected behaviour

The video shrinks/dissapears to allow the comment input field to be visible while typing a comment

Actual behaviour

The keyboard simply covers where the user is typing.

System Configuration

  • Android version: 8.1

Screenshots

Can't take screenshot because my phone's screenshot gesture sucks.
