Keyboard issue on ST

[manlyfan76]

@globaleagle
When I press the return key to start a new line the keyboard disappears off my Android phone and I have to tap the text to get it back.
If I press the X button IE delete/backspace it does the same thing. Google has given nothing on the matter?

Hiya

Sorry...for some reason the tag function didn't alert me to your post.

While I don't know (don't have an android..never had a keyboard disappear) - the usual things all nerds will say is try turning it off and on again...! (I know I know, but it can work)

Maybe:

Keyboard disappeared - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

My phone's been a little sluggish lately and I kept meaning to hard reset it. Today it started freaking out. Like rebooting on its own, freezing and then popping up the lock screen, and the keyboard not functioning properly. Finally I decided to hard reset it and now the keyboard won't show up...

Might be a @thing as it only happens on ST.
I clear cache pretty regularly and turn on /off every Tuesday when I do same on work PC.

I have a samsung android phone and a lenovo tablet and can't reproduce the issue.
Which keyboard are you using? Samsung keyboard is poorly laid out so I usually switch to gboard or swift which makes life easier.

Oppo android.

If nobody else has thus issue then it's just my phone.
Only happens on here, might look at downloading a new keyboard app?
