[#117] Trouble typing on android client
I recently upgraded the version of Android I am running and have encountered a strange issue. The text box pops open but I am unable to type into it. It is a bit random when it fails and when it doesn't. It almost feels like the text box loses focus? I can sometimes fix it by switching keyboards but it will inevitably fail the next time it pops open.
I have tried upgrading to the latest Lagrange to no avail.

This may the same issue as #109.
I have seen this on my Android devices a couple of times, but reproducing it has been difficult.

Just when I think I have a handle on it I'm proven wrong. But it may be related to how long one presses the link that causes the text box to appear. I'm better able to type if I press it long enough to just before the menu pops up. This is also a greater finger surface area (eg less precise)

Ok. I think I see what's happening. It seems like the keyboard pops open simultaneously to the text input. And when that happens I can't type in the text input. However, I can bog down my phone and introduce a delay that more reproducibly permits me to type.

Interesting. Sounds very much like a race between the C app logic and the Java UI code.

One OS upgrade later and this is resolved. The remnant behavior from this incident is the back button exiting the application instead of going back one page. I can live with this by swiping right instead.

This may be fixed or at least improved in Beta 46/47. Let me know if it still keeps happening.
