Footer ads triggering disappearance of phone keyboard

[Anonymous]

Hi-

For the last few days (problem is less than a week old) footer ads are causing my phone keyboard to disappear while I'm typing. It takes a bit to trigger the keyboard to come back. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't.

This is on Chrome and Android with no ad blocker on a 2023 Samsung phone.

The other new thing I'm noticing is that a black border temporarily appears when I select a page link that is a number (1, 2, etc.).

AI says this can be settings-driven per below. So far I haven't noticed specific ads driving an issue.

For Site Owners Using Raptive:
Adjust Ad Settings: You can turn off the sticky footer ad or adjust the close button functionality in your dashboard under Ad Options > Ad Controls.

CSS Fixes: If you have control over the site's CSS, ensure the body has sufficient padding-bottom to accommodate the ad, or use position: absolute instead of position: fixed.

Raptive Support: Contact Raptive support to report the specific ad that is causing issues, as they can optimize how the ad behaves on mobile devices.

The problem stems from how browsers calculate viewport height (100vh) and how fixed elements behave when the virtual keyboard appears, often covering input fields.

Thanks for posting this. Just FYI, the footer ad has a close button so you could close that ad. But, I will refer this to Raptive and see what they have to say. I can probably change the CSS if necessary.
