Bug ID: 514856
Summary: [Android 15/16] control bar for remote input is placed
behind 3-button navigation
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Android
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor

SUMMARY
On android 15 and 16, with the navigation mode set to 3-button bar instead of
gestures (the bar on the bottom of the screen, with back/home/recent apps), the
control bar for KDE Connect's remote input function is placed behind the
navigation bar instead of above or in front of it, making it impossible to use
the quick buttons provided by the KDE Connect app (keyboard down, KDE Connect
settings, IME switcher, connection status). This doesn't break anything but
workflow, as everything other than the IME switcher is accessible by simply
switching to the KDE connect app, and Android itself shows an IME switcher on
the 3-button navigation pane.
On previous phones this worked, until my last phone got updated to Android 15.
My new phone shipped with 15 and had the same issue, and it has not yet been
resolved as of Android 16. Wanted to make sure it was not an issue with the
last phone or OEM skin.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On the android device go to Settings > Display > System Navigation
2. Select "Navigation bar"
3. Connect KDE Connect to a PC
4. Select KDE Connect as current active keyboard
5. Select any text input field, for example the search bar on the settings page
OBSERVED RESULT
The gray bar at the bottom of the screen indicating KDE Connect as the current
IME, with the quick action buttons, is positioned behind the navigation bar
rather than above it as it did until Android 14.
EXPECTED RESULT
Accessible quick actions bar.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Irrelevant, this is isolated to Android and even happens when not connected to
a PC.
