I have the exact same problem on iOS 14.8 with the Smart Keyboard on an iPad 8. I have the latest version to date and I’m running code-server on Ubuntu 20. I have a video of the issue: https://youtu.be/j8KJf2j6nsE.

Sorry to hear this is happening! I will have to see if I can reproduce on my iPad. Thanks for your patience!

@fuchanglin By the way, you can regain focus of the code-server window by clicking on the search box. Sometimes this fix does not work but it mostly does.

Was able to reproduce this in split view

I’ve noticed that if I tap into the terminal, and then into the editor window, I’m able to start editing again.

I‘m having the same issue on a 11.5“ iPad Pro in splitscreen mode. I‘m using a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard, no magic keyboard, still on iOS 14.8, code-server 3.12.0 via the „add to home screen“ icon (but it also happens if using code-server in separate Safari window.)
I noticed that sometimes the on-screen keyboard will work fine (if I force it to show up via the bottom-right keyboard on-screen button), but the external keyboard will register in the Safari pane (i.e. up/down on the K380 will scroll whatever I have open in Safari, but the on-screen keyboard will type into code-server).

Any update on this topic, I am still facing this issue today 2024.06.
I am running vscodeclient as a safari home app, every time i switch back from safari, I can not type anything on the vscode and have to touch/click the screen several times.

No update from our end. This is probably an upstream issue (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode); if you can reproduce in https://vscode.dev or GitHub Codespaces it would be worth submitting an issue there.

They do have a bunch of issues around the iPad but I am not sure this is one of them yet: microsoft/vscode#85254
