“Add note" section covered by SwiftKey keyboard

When you are typing in the Add Note section, if the note goes past a certain number of characters it disappears under the SwiftKey keyboard on screen. You then cannot see what you're typing and cannot scroll down as the scroll distance is locked at the bottom of the screen (where the bottom would be if the keyboard wasn't present). This makes the app unable for making long notes.

    Dear Matt Kleu,

    I understand how frustrating it can be when the keyboard covers the text field, making it difficult to review or continue typing longer notes.

    To better understand the issue, could you please clarify a few points?

    1. Could you please clarify what you mean by the "Add Note" section? Are you referring to a regular note page within a OneNote notebook, a Quick Note, or another specific area in the Android app?
    2. What version of OneNote are you currently using?
    3. Does this behavior occur only when using the SwiftKey keyboard, or have you observed the same issue with the default Android keyboard?
    4. In other applications, does SwiftKey allow you to continue scrolling while typing long text, or is this issue only occurring in OneNote?

    I also attempted to reproduce the issue in my test environment by installing SwiftKey, creating a new notebook, and entering a very long note. In my testing, the text area continued to scroll correctly, and the SwiftKey keyboard did not cover the content being typed.

    Please provide a more detailed description of the issue and help answer the questions above so that I can better understand your scenario and assist you effectively.

    Thank you very much for your valuable time and your cooperation.
