Android: Editing Toolbar appears but does not work when external keyboard is connected

Since some versions the editing toolbar (bold, italic, …) on the lower screen area isn’t working anymore - it doesn’t show up.

This happens consistently when having the Book Cover (Book Cover Keyboard Slim
EF-DX920) docked on my Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. If undocked and using the on-screen keyboard, everything is fine. This has worked before, but I can’t remember the concrete app version.

Steps to reproduce

doch the book cover so you’re using the external keyboard

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

yes

Expected result

I expect the tool bar to appear in editing mode as it used to.

Actual result

No editing toolbar at all if the book cover was docked when the app was started. If docked later, a non-functional toolbar is displayed on the lowest spot of the screen. But it’s dead.

Are you able to add a screenshot or two of what it looks like with, and without the book cover docked?

Sure.

Book cover docked, then app started: no toolbar

Book cover undocked, on-screen keyboard: toolbar appeared and is working

Book cover re-docked: dead toolbar

Thanks, that is very helpful!

You’re welcome!

let me know if you still experience this problem when you get 1.9.13

Just FYI - still 1.9.12 in Play Store.

1.9.13+ is available to insiders, not to the general public.

1.9.14 is now available to public. Do you still have this issue?

sorry to report that I can’t see any change … :-/

Any update regarding this issue? Thanks.

@WhiteNoise Do we have any other reports of this?

No updates, aside from the fact that we a lot of BR around external KB and editing toolbar not working

I’d appreciate if I would been able to work with Obsidian on my Samsung tablet again … I mean it had worked before, so something broke, and now it’s become unproductive.

Please fix what you’ve broken, thanks.
