Content above keyboard jumps when keyboard is nearly opened (Only with edge-to-edge) #168768
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create a Flutter project with a newer version i.e. 3.29. ❗It should have edge-to-edge activated by default (the bug only happens with e2e)❗
- Add a TextFormField.
- Run in a newer device. I reproduced it both in my Pixel 9 Pro emulator and my physical device Pixel 8 Pro (the latter was a release build).
Animation jump triggered by any of 2 different actions
- Open the TextFormField by pressing on it. The content above the keyboard will make a small jump when finishing the animation.
- Once the keyboard is opened, slide from an edge so the 'back' bubble appears but don't release the finger from the screen (see example video). The keyboard will jump down. Cancel the 'back' action (swipe to the edge again). The keyboard will jump up.
❗❗ This does not happen when edge-to-edge is not active. It only happens with edge-to-edge.
Expected results
The animation of the content above the keyboard should be smooth while opening and not jump.
This bug was already created some years ago and supposedly fixed, but it's happening (again?).
Old issues:
- SystemUiMode.edgeToEdge bottom viewInset jumps when keyboard is opening #89914
- Android keyboard animations isn't smooth and snaps to the position when It's in an Edge to Edge SystemUI mode #131152
- [android] Animation when opening keyboard is unsynchronized #116836 (this one is even opened for years but has 0 activity by the dev team? I hope that I track some attention by posting a complete Issue with more data and a more detailed video demo).
The supposed fix, which by a comment in the 2nd issue it was supposed to be released after 3.11 but it's still hapenning):
❗❗👉👉 Guys, opening a keyboard is a pretty main action of an app. I'm really worried about the opened issue not having been attended for years, in a feature that is now activated by default in flutter (edge-to-edge). Not sure why this is not a main concern.
Actual results
The content above the keyboard jumps when it's nearly opened.
