GutenbergEditing and display of Gutenberg blocks.Editing and display of Gutenberg blocks.Posting/Editing[Pri] Medium[Type] Bug
Description
Expected behavior
- When a block has focus and a blinking cursor the keyboard is shown.
- After inserting a new block such as a Paragraph or List (step 3 below) the keyboard is shown.
Actual behavior
Sometimes a block added from the Inserter has focus and a blinking cursor, but no keyboard is shown.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Create a new Blog post.
- Tap the default Paragraph block ("Start writing..."). There is a blinking cursor and the system's keyboard appears.
- Tap the "+" to open the Inserter and choose a Paragraph or List block (other blocks may be affected as well).
- Observe that the keyboard is no longer showing, but the input cursor is blinking inside the block.

At the end of the video I tapped into Area A (see Extra discussion below).
Extra discussion
I initially thought that you couldn't show the keyboard on the block without toggling its focus, but then learned there's a couple hit areas that behave differently. On the Pixel 4a, at least, it felt like I needed to be extra precise to hit Area A and present the keyboard.
Tested on Pixel 4a, Android 12, WPAndroid 19.5
