Description

Description

After enabling edge-to-edge , the Android keyboard gets cut off on the notch side in landscape orientation.

In LANDSCAPE_LEFT, the left side is clipped (behind the notch).

In LANDSCAPE_RIGHT, the right side is clipped.

In portrait, the keyboard displays correctly.

This happens regardless of using KeyboardAvoidingView, SafeAreaProvider, or adjustResize.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a new React Native project.
  2. Enable edge-to-edge
  3. Add a TextInput and focus it.
  4. Rotate the device to landscape.

Research direction

Start with the mandatory reproducer at https://github.com/Prajwaltechversant/orientationturbodummy, enable edge-to-edge, focus a TextInput, and rotate to landscape on Android. Compare LANDSCAPE_LEFT and LANDSCAPE_RIGHT behavior; done means the keyboard is no longer clipped on the notch side while portrait behavior remains correct.
