Description

Experienced with Chatto 3.6, the input view size is shrunk to approx. 44pt.

Repro steps:

  • Run the sample app on an iPad with a hardware keyboard attached
    • Can also be reproduced using the simulator
  • Open any example in the sample app
  • Switch from text input item to gallery item
    • It'll look fine at this point
  • Switch back to text input mode
  • Switch back to gallery item
    • Observe the bug

Research direction
Investigate the Chatto input view handling, specifically around text input mode and gallery item switch. The issue occurs on iPad with hardware keyboard; check how keyboard notifications are handled. Relevant files likely include Chatto's input view classes (e.g., ChatInputBar, ChatInputAccessoryView). Reproduce using sample app provided in the repository.
