Why opens a writing window while typing in WhatsApp or other apps?!
Hi there,
Normally I love to write with SwiftKey, but after installing it on a new tablet with Android 7.0 often I got an opening window (you see below) to type in it. I can't write directly anymore in the official fields like in my business calender or in WhatsApp.
Is this a bug or a function which I can disable anywhere
?!
?!
Kind regards from Germany
Hi,
This is because the landscape mode of screen, SwiftKey entered the "full screen typing" of Android.
It's probably set by default by Android in landscape mode. I'll check it with the team.

Okay, yes that's the problem. I tried and it's really only with landscape mode. Hope, there will be a possibility to change this.
Thanks for the moment. Let me know, if there is a solution.
Hi Matthias,
I think this is just how it is. Full screen and landscape is an interesting one. I'm not 100% if the app dev can classify text fields to not open in full screen or not.
I think it should. Cause it depends on the android version. With my last tablet (android 4.2.) it works all the time, but with the new one (android 7.0) I get this writing window in landscape.
And it's only a problem with swiftkey, with other keyboards like gboard this problem doesn't exist.
I am facing exactly the same problem. Please let me know when is solved.
Best regards
Kamil
Hi,
I have the same problem - in landscape mode Swiftkey opens this full screen writing window making impossible to see whatsapp!
Anyone at SwiftKey care about this?
