Question

On Android keyboard display covers bottom of TODO note and will not allow edit UNDER the keyboard display

Transplant West 10

On Android keyboard display covers bottom of TODO note and will not allow edit UNDER the keyboard display. Editing on Windows is fine. When it syncs, now changes format, deletes characters, repeats entire lines.

ToDo notes on window, copy and paste menu opens outside the window area when not partially minimized.

The keyboard issue just started two/three days ago. If I can't edit my grocery list when using my phone, I certainly will not trust the APP for professional projects.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. I know how disruptive it is when the Android keyboard covers the bottom of your To Do note and causes format issues. Recent reports confirm this is a new issue affecting multiple users, not something specific to your device.

First, this behavior appears to be part of a newly introduced bug in the Android version of Microsoft To Do/OneNote, and Microsoft is already seeing similar cases.

Second, several users resolved similar typing and cursor problems by switching from the Samsung Keyboard to Gboard, since Samsung’s keyboard settings have caused unexpected behavior in Microsoft apps.

Third, temporarily resizing the app window such as using split‑screen forces Android to redraw the layout and can help avoid the keyboard covering the editing area, matching what others have observed. [learn.microsoft.com]

Last, clearing the app cache helps stabilize formatting and syncing, since cache issues can trigger repeated lines or character loss. This doesn’t fix the keyboard overlap but reduces side effects.

I hope you find this information helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer".

Regards,

It seems you are experiencing issues with the soft keyboard on your Android device, which is covering the bottom of your TODO note and preventing you from editing it effectively. This can happen when the soft keyboard input mode is not set correctly. In .NET MAUI, you can adjust the soft keyboard input mode by using the WindowSoftInputModeAdjust settings. The two options available are Pan and Resize. The Resize option resizes the window to make room for the keyboard, while Pan simply moves the content up without resizing.

To resolve your issue, you might want to ensure that your application is set to use WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize. This can help prevent the keyboard from covering your input fields. If you are developing the application, you can set this in your XAML or C# code as follows:

In XAML:

<Application ...
             xmlns:android="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.PlatformConfiguration.AndroidSpecific;assembly=Microsoft.Maui.Controls"
             android:Application.WindowSoftInputModeAdjust="Resize">
  ...
</Application>

In C#:

using Microsoft.Maui.Controls.PlatformConfiguration.AndroidSpecific;
...

App.Current.On<Microsoft.Maui.Controls.PlatformConfiguration.Android>().UseWindowSoftInputModeAdjust(WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize);

If you are not the developer, consider reaching out to the app's support team to report this issue and suggest they implement the Resize option for the soft keyboard input mode.

Additionally, if you are experiencing syncing issues that lead to formatting changes or character deletions, it may be beneficial to check for updates to the app or reinstall it to see if that resolves the problem.
