On my android phone, the mattermost app does something weird to my keyboard - it replaces the right-most 1/3 of the spacebar with a key with a '->|' symbol on it that closes the keyboard when pressed. I've never seen any other app do this, and it's (of course) really annoying because it means when I try to hit the spacebar the keyboard closes instead.

That's just one of a couple issues I have with the app (push notifications not really working, the chat taking 15 seconds to reload everything upon switching back to the app, etc) that have basically made it useless to me.

@i_are_smart, ouch, that keyboard thing sounds really weird. Would you be open to joining our public test channel to share a screenshot? https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/public-test...

Would highly appreciate your feedback on notifications and load times as well.

@it33, apologies for the slow reply here, I basically never check my messages. I'd be happy to do that once I get some time at work, or afterwards.

For the sake of replication, my keyboard is "Hackers Keyboard", running on Android 5.1.1 (specifically OxygenOS 2.2.1) on a OnePlus 2.
