iPad keyboard covers search bar/results when searching inside a document
Title: iPad keyboard covers search bar/results when searching inside a document
App: Dropbox
Device: iPad (9th generation)
OS: iPadOS 26.3
Issue:
When I search within a document in the Dropbox iPad app, the on-screen keyboard appears and blocks the search bar and search results. I can’t see the results while typing because they are hidden behind the keyboard.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Dropbox on iPad.
2. Open a document (PDF, etc.).
3. Tap the search/find feature inside the document.
4. Start typing a search term.
5. The keyboard pops up and overlaps the search results.
Expected behavior:
The search bar and results should remain visible above the keyboard.
Actual behavior:
The keyboard overlaps the search interface, making it difficult to view results.
Device: iPad 9th generation
iPadOS version: 26.3

Please update to at least version 464 from the App Store, it should fix this issue.
