This is a test post to see if anything untoward happens. And yes it has. Four times so far in these three lines.

Happening again @MNHQ. Any update?

It only seems to happen very late at night for me too and is perfectly fine at the moment and right throughout the day. Not sure on the exact time but I'd say it starts to happen about midnight ish. I've lost many posts as the disappearing keyboard makes me press on something else and takes me off the thread I've given up many times. Hope MN are still looking into this as it's incredibly frustrating. Reseting the keyboard won't help as it's a MN issue not an issue with our devices.

It was happening to me again at lunchtime. What's happening @MNHQ?

FavouritePi · 02/03/2022 17:59

I don't have a Samsung but it is android. There's no other website I have this with either and like a pp, I've given up a few times when experiencing it too.

DaisyTheUnicorn · 02/03/2022 02:17

This is only a mn problem for me and putting me off posting as its not sustainable and frustration is huge after losing a post.

DaisyTheUnicorn · 02/03/2022 02:16

Happening to me.

There's a couple of posts Ive given up on after retyping several times. Really not great.

Keyboard disappeared three times while writing this but managed to click on text box to stop it navigating elsewhere.

What is going on!?!?

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 02/03/2022 02:09

Just happened to me

TooBigForMyBoots · 02/03/2022 02:03

Happening again tonight.🙄

RobertSmithsLipstick · 01/03/2022 14:34

Testing now to see what happens.
I gave up last night as I couldn't write more than 2 or 3 words.

FlibbertyGiblets · 01/03/2022 08:40

Reset keyboard. No difference. The problems occur through the night from perhaps 11pm. Always seems okay in the morning say from 6am. Make of that what you will.

saraclara · 01/03/2022 08:35

It's purely a late night thing for me. Which is what makes it odd. Definitely after 11pm, could be later. I'll try to log the time if it happens again tonight.

Swype keyboard, chrome, Samsung Galaxy s10.

(Sorry, not going through all that resetting stuff at this point. I don't want to risk losing any Swype word memory)

LemonDrizzles · 01/03/2022 06:53

Yes I had this a few days ago. Said swype.crashed and lost my long reply. Restarted phone and it hasn't happened since....

Redwinestillfine · 01/03/2022 06:52

I am on Motorola witha gboard keyboard. No factory reset option for keyboard...

Associatepeggy · 01/03/2022 03:00

RobertSmithsLipstick · 01/03/2022 01:33

After 4 words or so the reply box slips away.

bigyellowTpot · 01/03/2022 01:31

Just to add to the info, I use the Swype keyboard, not the standard Samsung one.

Hi folks

We've received a heap of videos and photos, for which we're really thankful. We've managed to identify the issue but it's not very good news - it's really quite difficult to resolve from our end.

We've found some support online here: www.maketecheasier.com/get-samsung-keyboard-back-to-normal/

Can users experiencing this issue try this, and let us know if it resolves the problem?

Thanks so much for your patience here.

Associatepeggy · 28/02/2022 10:04

Its happened a couple of times this morning. Chrome on android. Around 8.30am

LeticiaLeghorn · 28/02/2022 09:48

It only happens at night and you can't screenshot anything because the keyboard just disappears. And then you end up accidentally hitting trending topics which takes you to a different thread so you lose what you've typed. I'm on a Samsung A71.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 28/02/2022 09:28

Just taken me 4 attempts to post here.

Motorola phone

Hi all,
We are really sorry this is still persisting. Please can you contact us on [email protected], confirming the device you are using, your browser and a screen shot or screen recording and we will look into this for you.

Dinoteeth · 27/02/2022 09:22

I did 3 separate posts last night to avoid loosing what I was writing. But it seems much more stable now.
I think other posters are right the issue is late at night
