Hi Gareth,
I encountered a reproducible error when searching the song list (no matter if by title or other features). Here is what I do:
- Swipe from the left to open the song list
- Open one of the search fields, e.g., Title
- Tap into this field to enter text. Now Android will display the keyboard in the lower part of the screen.
- Type something to find a song
- Tap on the song title to open it

Now the song will be displayed, but the area that was covered by the keyboard is still covered in black. When I now rotate the tablet (-> landscape and back again), the display will be refreshed and fine. However, on stage, the tablet is fixed to a tablet holder :-)

Best regards, and again, thank you for your time and work!
Thommi

Hi Thommi,

I cannot seem to reproduce this bug.  Android deals with the keyboard hiding, not the app (although the app does check after a second that it has gone).  However, I have researched the issue you describe and have made a couple of changes to my code to see if that helps.  Can you let me know if you still see the issue when you get the next release please.

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

I have experienced a similar error while editing songs (keyboard disappears half way through doing edits leaving that blank space), and other random occasions. I normally go into edit mode and exit again to restore the display to normal. I'll be interested to see if these changes also sort out my problem.

Thanks once again for all your hard work, it's really appreciated.

Regards,
Shaun Gouws

Hi Gareth,

Just tested the new release, and could not provoke the error anymore, problem solved!

Again, thank you very much for your work!
