Display glitch in 4.26 (or iOS 26?)

#1 · 03.11.2025, 07:06

Hi Guido,

in the current version 4.26 on iOS 26.0.1 when the keyboard is displayed it pushes up whatever is currently on the bottom of the screen (the drive/search/plan buttons in map mode or the edit toolbar in planning mode).
When the keyboard is hidden again, the bars typically do not move back down but stay in the middle of the screen where they were pushed to.

The workaround is to rotate the phone into the other orientation and back.

I am not sure with on Scenic or iOS version this first occured. Just noticed it now.

Could you please have a look?

Thanks a lot, Martin

Hi Martin,

I tried to reproduce on my device but was not able to. I see in your screenshots it's happening, so there must be something different between your setup and mine. Could you answer below questions:
- Are you using a 3rd party keyboard?
- What device are you using?
- Could you give me exact steps that you do before and when this happens?

Thanks and best regards,
Guido

Hi Guido,

I am using a iPhone 13 running iOS 26.0.1.
It happens too in our iPad Air 2 running iPadOS 26.0.1.
It does not happen in my wife's iPhone SE running iOS 18.6.2.

All devices are running scenic 4.26. And I am not using any custom keyboard.

To produce the effect I just need to tap on Search and then tap into the search entry field so that the keyboard appears.
Or long press the map to bring up the Location Popup, tap the "Save" button and tap onto the title or the description input fields to make the keyboard appear.
After that the bottom bar will remain pushed up.

I created some screen recordings and hope the play here in the forum:

1. Just bring up the Location Popup and "Save" without opening the keyboard. ==> All is well.

2. Bring up the Location Popup, "Save" and bring up the keyboard ==> Bottom bar shifts up

3. Bring up "Search" and tap search entry field to bring up the keyboard: ==> Bottom bar shifts up

If there is anything more I can do to help tracking this one down please let me know.

Best, Martin

Thanks for the details Martin. I still can't reproduce here, but I'll investigate further. It's probably a performance / timing problem in this case.

Hi Guido, found the culprit:

I have enabled Settings > Accessibility > Motion > „Reduce motion“ and „Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions“

The latter causes the botttom panel to stay in the middle of the screen when the keyboard is closed

Thanks very much Martin. That helps a lot. I vaguely remember someone else having this problem too now that you mention this. I’ll see if I can get this working even with these settings enabled.

Cool. Thank you.

Just to give you one more piece of information:

On my wife's iPhone SE running iOS 18.6.2 it works as it should even with „Reduce motion“ and „Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions“ enabled.
(When I wrote above that it works for her both switches were disabled. Now after I had learned which settings triggers the issue I enabled both on her phone and double checked.)

So it really seems to be new with iOS 26.
