Screen size change when changing brigtness using a wired keyboard in Obsidian for Android

Steps to reproduce

  • Using Obsidian for Android with a WIRED keyboard connected, default theme.

  • Open a note

  • The editor shortcuts appear on top of the Android bottom bar (Home, Apps and Back buttons)

  • You press the Android hotkey to change the brightness

  • While the brightness bar is on screen, the Obsidian editor shortcuts are moved down and are drawn OVER (not on top as expected) the android bottom bar.

so the entire screen looks like this:

  • After two seconds following the brightness button press, the window is redrawn again normally and buttons come back to their place.
  • Testing this with other android apps, the same is not happening, which makes me think it is Obsidian-related.
