Signal Android: now impossible to enter text in chats [Edit: workaround[
5mon 2d ago by lemmy.ca/u/pglpm in signal@lemmy.ml
After today's update (v7.68.4), I cannot enter text in chats any longer: no matter how many times I touch the input field, the keyboard doesn't appear (but it works seamlessly in all other apps).
Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I submitted a bug report with log.
Edit: I found a temporary workaround: interact with some elements in the chat. For example:
- Start sending a voice message (touch microphone symbol), then interrupt it.
- Open the three-dot menu (upper right), then close it again.
Swiping away the app and reopening have no effect? Restarting your device?
Good advice! I tried this but unfortunately the problem persists :(
It doesn't work in my case – but clever idea!
@pglpm
I think #signal introduced a bug..I see many people complaining about this now.
@signalapp
Thank you for confirming this!
