Description

Expected behaviour

The text entered should show up correctly or scroll down to the text.

Actual behaviour

The text is hidden for a short while, as shown below for the word recording:

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

We were unable to replicate the behaviour; however, the user has consistently replicated this. They mentioned:

the bottom-most line of recently entered text disappears as soon as the line wraps (it's when I autocomplete the word "recording"). The text becomes visible again after I scroll/tap around a little, but this is very frustrating and makes writing harder.

Tested on [Google Pixel 5], Android [11, build number RQ3A.211001.001], WPAndroid [20.0]

Gboard: 11.9.06.452014594-release-arm64-v8a87736322

The two language packs installed:

de_DE, version = 2022042500
en_US, version = 2022041300

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached recording and trying to reproduce the issue on a Google Pixel 5 with Android 11, WordPress 20.0, and the specified Gboard version. Compare autocomplete and line wrapping with the reported behavior; done means newly wrapped text is visible promptly or the view scrolls to it.
