skyjake/lagrange Issue #735: Not allowing text input without switching keyboard on Android

2025-07-20 00:19:01 jecxjo

I am not sure if this issue is specific to the keyboards installed but I have yet to see the issue in any other app.

When clicking on an input link the text field in Lagrange pops up but typing does not write anything to the field. If I select another software keyboard then then input works. That is until the next trigger of the input field which needs the toggling again. Android keeps the last used keyboard so issue isn't specific to a keyboard. A fails so I switch to B. Then B fails so I switch to A.

OS: GrapheneOS

Keyboards: Default keyboard, Flickboard

I am on GrapheneOS and I also have this issue sometimes entering anything with the keyboard. It seems a bit random as I didn't try to switch keyboard. It happens on station and bbs.geminispace.org. Hi just hit cancel and try a reply again until it works but it is annoying.

I am using only the default keyboard.

This issue on BBS is likely the same one: gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/s/Lagrange-Issues/109

There is a [new Android beta build](https://codeberg.org/skyjake/lagrange/releases/download/v1.19.0/lagrange_v1.19b41_phone.apk) based on a more recent SDK + NDK. Let me know if it works any better/worse when it comes to the keyboard.
