 Description   

When i tap on the text box for the keyboard to pop up, the text box remains on the bottom so the keyboard ends up covering it. It doesn’t raise above the keyboard like it should. This is extremely inconvenient as I can’t see what im typing.


Note by Mega_Spud:
This comment helpfully points out that as a temporary workaround, turning your device over once or twice can help make the text box appear in the correct place.
Update:
This issue was related to the iOS keyboard and should be fixed by updating to iOS 11.2+

Chat-filter
Yes this is still happening for me as well using IPad Pro with newest version of Minecraft . Chat keyboard covers screen also chat-filter filters everything I type for the other players. I can see all of their texts in chat but everything for me comes up all xxxxxxxxx for them. Other players use android and win10

ios 11.2 update is out and the update fixes this bug

This is exactly what is happening to me. Ever since I updated my iPad Mini to ios11 I have been unable to see what I'm typing because the keyboard covers the text box! All of my friends who play mc on ios have this same issue! It's extremely annoying not being able to see what you are typing so I hope they come up with a fix soon!

Comment by Sedew [ 22/Nov/17 ]

And this continues happening at 1.2.5 :/
Fix it pls. I have an iPhone 5S, iOS 11

Comment by DJ [ 31/Oct/17 ]

Bug is fixed on iOS 11.2 beta, wait for official iOS 11.2 release

Comment by Alfie Kennedy [ 23/Oct/17 ]

This is happening on my iPad pro as well! Help! I mostly use this for coding so its a +right pain in my bum +that I can't see what I'm typing!

Came to report ongoing issue. Using iOS 11 and reduced keyboard so no way to close the screen at all.

Main areas it's a problem:-
1. Coding trying to do any commands or use command blocks - can't see what's been typed nor review prior code.

2. In game interactions e.g. sign writing, can't exit once it's complete as no "done" or "complete" button only the return key that puts you onto next line.

The above solution works like a charm

Whoever you are who posted it, thank you sooooooooooooooooo much <3

I’ve found a kind of solution.
If you textbox disappeared,
turn your display over.
And if you still don’t see it,
turn your display over again.

I've noticed this seems to happen only after clicking the slash button.

In my iPad Air too, it happens with iOS 11 new keyboard :c

Comment by DaBezt31 [ 20/Sep/17 ]

Yeah it happened my to my iPad Air 2 too

Comment by Ibrahim [ 05/Jul/17 ]

This has nothing to do with with a third party keyboard... it happens on the default iOS keyboard on an iPhone 6s
