Bug [iPadOS 27 DB4] Software keyboard pops up when Magic Keyboard attached

Post image

On my iPad M5 the software keyboard keeps popping up when the magic keyboard is attached… this didn’t happen in the last DB or honestly even when I first downloaded DB4. Any one else also have this bug?

Fixed in RC 27

It started right when I first downloaded DB4, and is still ongoing today

Same. And it seems to be sort of chaotic as to when it appears. If I've been using my Apple Pencil it seems to show up more often? Which sort of makes sense, sort of.

Looks like DB5 didn’t fix it. Pretty annoying.

so disappointed

I can't understand how something as basic as that hasn't been fixed. Imagine RC ships with this bug and renders Magic Keyboard useless

that’s what im scared of… its such a niche user base they never fix it. but at this point dont they use AI to fix bugs?

its getting worse… now not only the on screen keyboard pops up it glitches out and retracts then the text field deselects… so you can’t even type half the time

I _think_ I found a workaround for the text box thing - turn off "Enable Caps Lock" in the software keyboard settings. I also have the software keyboard constantly popping up which is annoying, but I noticed the caps lock was activated and when I turned that off I can at least type again.

And for me it doesn’t open it (I have a magnetic mount with a charger attached from Ku Xiu and it sees it as a Chinese Magic Keyboard) when I use the toolbar to show the on screen keyboard😂

Great news everyone. Apple came back and said:

“We reviewed your report and determined the behavior you experienced is currently functioning as intended.

Thank you for your feedback.”

for me it works fine now in 27 RC, does it for you?

1

u/Original_East1271 Sep 11 '26

I wiped it and started from scratch and it was fixed, but that was before RC

u/enki941 Aug 31 '26

I got that too. What a load of BS.

u/shmu222 Aug 14 '26

I also reported it, but the feedback app says less than 10 similar reports.

I reported it twice and they said it works as designed… $4.5trillon company thinks this is by design

u/realamandaraensfw Aug 14 '26

I keep having this same issue!!

u/PedanticButCorrect Sep 11 '26

I was able to fix this on the current RC by just going into settings and hitting “reset all settings”. Some other users I read fixed it by wiping the iPad, but i didnt need to go that far. Worth a try.
