In the latest version 1.20.11 when playing on xbox with an xbox controller, everything is fixed except, when using signs the 4th line is cut off by the keyboard, and you can still go past line 4; there is also an issue with book and quills where again the keyboard covers the lower lines (lines 13 & 14). Also when using the full screen mode on a command block the keyboard covers the entire upper half of the screen making it difficult to type command blocks.
As of 1.20.10.20 nothing has been fixed when playing on xbox with controller
I would also like to add that when you are typing and want to give the text a certain effect using the “§” key, it is impossible to tell what effect it will have on the text. For example, “§4” makes text red, but it is impossible to know this until you enter past the onscreen keyboard. Then, if you do not like the effect you have to go back and it is very difficult to edit it, as people have said, you have to rewrite everything. I am surprised this bug has been in the game for over half a year as it is completely game braking. It makes it impossible to type anything in any way on xbox.
Splunkon, it is not a duplicate. My issue is with the on screen keyboard in all scenarios, while his is only about how the keyboard covers what is typing. My issue goes further than just signs, I explain and provide many examples to why this affects more than just signs and that it is not just a problem with overlay. I also provide many more photos and videos. Also the bug he is experiencing has been patched, and when they patched it, it caused this but I am reporting to be created.
As if the most recent update, when you are playing on Xbox you can no longer auto fill commands in the chat using right and left D-pad. This makes it nearly impossible to do long commands on Xbox controller.
