Signal Android: now impossible to enter text in chats [Edit: workaround[ (lemmy.ca)

After today's update (v7.68.4), I cannot enter text in chats any longer: no matter how many times I touch the input field, the keyboard doesn't appear (but it works seamlessly in all other apps).

Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I submitted a bug report with log.

Edit: I found a temporary workaround: interact with some elements in the chat. For example:

Start sending a voice message (touch microphone symbol), then interrupt it.
Open the three-dot menu (upper right), then close it again.

Swiping away the app and reopening have no effect? Restarting your device?

Good advice! I tried this but unfortunately the problem persists :(
