This is a critical UI bug that makes the text editor unusable. When the keyboard opens, text and the contextual menu overflow under the status bar, becoming unreadable and untouchable.
I've prepared a complete fix that's ready for review. Per the contribution guidelines, this qualifies as a critical, production-blocking bug exception. Could this issue please be labeled with
help wantedso the fix can be reviewed and merged?See PR #485 for the proposed solution.
