Xbox On-Screen Keyboard covers Command Block line

The new on-screen keyboard is positioned incorrectly (at the top of the screen) in the Command Block UI when in the expanded view, which covers the text. It is also positioned at the top in chat when it should be at the bottom.

This is so annoying, they need to get this fixed as there's no work around there's no way to disable the digital keyboard either so it's not like we can just plug in a wireless or wired one to our console, I use command blocks on a daily basis and when you can't see what you're doing it's hard

I would agree. The placement is not in a good area and preventing the view of important areas. The ability to no longer copy text or highlight text is disappointing. Previously, we was able to copy and paste text and that feature is no longer present. 

I am having the same issue not being able to edit a command someone else typed into the command block because I can't see where my cursor is because the Xbox on screen keyboard covers everything. Using and editing commands is now unusable. 

I am encountering the same issue here. I am a very prominent command block user as all the maps I make depend on them, (I refuse to use add-ons). However, just recently within the last 2 days I have been dependent on my friend that plays on his PC to type all the commands for me that I instruct him how to do as I am currently rendered useless and unable to add new features to my maps until this bug is fixed (as a result of not being able to see what I'm typing and anything to the right of the cursor disappears as soon as I submit a command, which I keep forgetting to do, and it's wasting time). It is incredibly frustrating. I would prefer the way that the xbox keyboard worked just before this unexpected hotfix that broke this system. The old system was great! It allowed you to scroll from the beginning or end of the chat box, allowing quicker parsing as well as it allowed you to save lines individually on signs and especially in npcs, which you can no longer see any code past the npc command boxes anymore with the new system. On behalf of myself and other command block enthusiasts please revert back to the old system, it worked much more coherently and it would be very much appreciated! Thank You!

The way it used to work was waaaaay better than now, i was able to click B to cancel editing if i've changed my mind about something or just click START to save changes. we were able to click LB or RB at the start of the editing to instantly go at the beginning or the end of the text. Now we can't even see what we are typing lmao

@Leonardo Burza this is being fixed in 1.20.50.

I think this has affected Touch Screen players and I HATE this change. 👎

Fixed as of 1.20.50.

@Brorenzo then you should report that as a separate issue. This issue is about the Xbox On-Screen Keyboard.

Can confirm fixed as of 1.20.50 as well the ability to quick fill commands in chat
