Keyboard covering what I type

Lately I’ve noticed my keyboard is covering up what I type so I cannot check for corrections. I’ve noticed this is messaging, Facebook, and a few other things. If I hit the keyboard down key and try to check my typing, as soon as I tap on a word the keyboard comes back up and covers it. I’ve tried scrolling the text upward, but again, when I tap, it drops down and the keyboard comes up covering it. I looked in settings, but don’t see anything there to change. Again, it just started recently.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Well, out of the blue it just started working properly! A couple days ago I turned off split keyboard in Settings. I turned it back on and the issue came back. Turned it off and things worked fine, just had to close FB first.

Will monitor for a week.

Try and Force restart iPad

Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button and keep it pressed until Apple logo appears, release the button.

Sorry, I never did. It seems to mainly be Facebook, but I’ve seen it in a couple other apps. Another issue I’ve noticed with this is, when I start a post on FB and tap on background color, it immediately goes to plain text. Seems this only happens on my iPad, not my iPhone.
