Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• [x] This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

Add <input type="text" /> to a card. Review a card and focus the input box. Try to type something. Note: when previewing the template it works as expected, only when reviewing a card does the keyboard not show up.

Expected behaviour

I should be able to type input into the input box in the card.

Copied from #14546. The merged fix seems to be reverted, I don't know if there's a reason for it.

Hi, could I take on this issue? Is there any context I would need going forward?

[mobd]

Some discussion in the PR #15576, maybe one of the participants there knows more.

There is a workaround by enabling "Type answer into the card" in the settings. However, I don't think the current behaviour with default settings is expected, so I think the issue should stay open

Could you install: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.21alpha17/AnkiDroid-2.21alpha17.parallel.A.apk

• Settings - About AnkiDroid - Tap the AnkiDroid logo 7 times
• Developer options - enable "new reviewer"
• Is this still a problem?

---

You may uninstall this parallel app after you're done testing, 2.21 will be released soon

With the new reviewer this issue does not occur. There are some other weird issues but I guess I'll wait until the new reviewer is released. Thanks for your reply!
