onscreen keyboard hides TextView

[Matthias Gehre]

Running attached qml file on the phone via
qmlscene --desktop_file_hint /usr/share/applications/qmlscene.desktop KeyboardBug.qml
shows the MainView with a TextField at the bottom.
Touching into the TextField shows the onscreen keyboard on top of the TextField,
so that the TextField is not visible while typing.

I think that the onscreen keyboard should shrink the MainView, so that the TextField anchored at the bottom of the MainView will
move up.

--- KeyboardBug.qml .---
import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 0.1

MainView {
 width: units.gu(42)
    height: units.gu(67)
 TextField {
  height: units.gu(4)
        anchors {bottom: parent.bottom; left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
 }
}

Yes, this also goes for the notepad app. If you make a long note, you wont be able to see what you are writing after some point.

Not sure if this is something the indiviual developers should deal with. Like the browser deals with this just fine. However, shrinking the MainView probably causes a lot of problems. Just "scrolling" ut up might be a better solution. I dont know.

Something that could be discussed on the mailing list or IRC I guess.
