Large Blank Space Appearing in Capacities Android App When Using Samsung Keyboard
in progress

Drew Raminez
When typing in the Daily Notes page of the Capacities Android app, a large blank space appears directly below the text input area. This space takes up excessive screen real estate, making it difficult to view the content while typing. The issue is specific to the Samsung Keyboard it does not occur with other keyboards.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open the Capacities app on an Android device.
- Navigate to the Daily Notes page.
- Start typing using the Samsung Keyboard.
- Observe the large blank space that appears below the text input field.
Expected Behavior:
The text input area should remain consistent in size without adding unnecessary blank space, regardless of the keyboard being used.
Actual Behavior:
When using Samsung Keyboard, a large blank space appears below the input area, reducing the visible writing space.

I'm using a SHIFTphone 8 with Gboard and have the same issue. A few additions:
- the blank space is not the same size every time.
- You can drag the menu bar with indent etc. and change the size of the blank space that way.

Hi Drew, could you close the app and reopen and let me know if that clears it?

Beth the issue still persists even if I updated the app to its latest version.

Drew Raminez: We couldn't recreate this on the last version. Does it happen with other keyboards?

Beth yes, I've tried clearing the cache and cookies today and reinstalled the app, and the issue still persists, though it happens intermittently, especially on longer notes. I've switched back and forth using Gboard and Samsung Keyboard, but it's still the same issue. I attached a screenshots for reference.

Just to add, the issue is also happening in Gboard when typing in Daily notes. I tested another one, and it's also happening now on all pages when typing. A big space is appearing when typing or trying to reference something.
