Steps to reproduce
  1. Start creating new email
  2. Add long recipient
  3. Click message text field
  4. Click to field again
  5. Add one more long recipient do not add space at the end (note adding two recipients without step 3 is less consistent but reproducible)
  6. Click on message field again
  7. Click on to field
Expected behavior

Same as after step 3 - I can add new recipient

Actual behavior

Email details of last recipient shows up ( etc...), and keyboard hides. It is impossible to add new email. Clicking on text field and back to 'to' field yelds same buggy behavior
Side note - Why 'x' at top right of this popup deletes recipient? 'x' there means close not 'delete'
Side note two - I can't find how to edit recipient email one it is shown as 'bubble'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Android app version 5.807 using the listed steps, especially with long recipients and the To field. Investigate the recipient-entry and recipient-bubble flow; it is done when multiple recipients can be added without the keyboard hiding or the last recipient's details replacing the entry view.
