Make it that in editing mode in mobile if the keyboard is down it will hide the cursor
The only way to hide it now is to toggle the reading mode on and off once
This problem might only be on Android. On iOS when I hide the keyboard, the cursor disappears.
This is the intended behavior. On android pressing back button to retract the keyboard should not remove the text cursor from screen.
The other problem with removing the cursor (and thus, removing focus from the input) is that in a multi-app situation (split screen on some android devices, or app-switching), this prevents the user from being able to quickly copy paste between apps (because you lose focus when the app comes back into the foreground). It also sometimes causes focus issues where the user has a physical (like bluetooth or USB) keyboard attached, and the app thinks the virtual keyboard has retracted. Yet another issue is that some keyboard’s voice-to-text feature closes the keyboard while it is listening. Once you speak the sentence, if the focus is removed the keyboard would not be able to insert the text in.
A quick way to remove the focus is to simply pull the left or right sidebar out just a little bit.
