When typing replies the text box does not scroll down as you type. So after a few lines the text starts getting buried under the keyboard. You can't even manually scroll down the page to bring your typing into view.

For me, this renders the whole app useless.

Actually I think I'm seeing something like that also. I think when I type an original post or even a regular comment, then it's possible to scroll down and see what you're typing. But doesn't work for "replies". In those, after five or six lines everything echoes hidden under the keyboard.

May be a Lemmy problem that the connect app can't overcome. I'm typing this in Jerboa. The reply box here hides text under the keyboard also. Doesn't automatically scroll as it should, but at least in Jerboa you an manually scroll down. In Connect for Lemmy you can't.

I can manually scroll it in connect and it scrolls on the reply too. You should try clearing your cache in your phone settings and giving it a good ol' reboot.

I do reboot every morning. But I did as you suggested right now and cleared the cache, restarted the phone and am now typing this reply in Connect. Sorry to keep typing but I wanted to see how far I can type.

The font size is larger as you type, so you get 6½ lines before it gets hidden. That's about 4½ of the smaller sized font in the published reply.
