Description
Ideally, the keyboard will pop up when selecting Find in Page so we don't manually have to click on the search box again.

Brian,
On my devices, the keyboard does pop up automatically when selecting Find on Page. Can you give me more information to help me troubleshoot?
1. Do you always have the problem of the keyboard not showing when selecting Find on Page, or does it only happen in certain scenarios?
2. If it only happens in certain circumstances, please let me know what steps can replicate the problem.
3. Please send me a screenshot of About → Version. There may be something specific to your device that is causing the problem.

Soren,
It happens every time for me. I am using GBoard as my primary keyboard - I haven't tested with any others yet. Including my About -> Version screen.

After looking at the code, I was reminded that to display the keyboard, I had to insert a delay of 200 ms after displaying the Find on Page bar. This is to work around a bug in Android.
My guess is that on some devices 200 ms is not sufficient. Please test out the following debug build where I have increased the delay to 300 ms. This debug build is of Privacy Browser Free (the ad supported version) which will allow you to install it alongside your current version without losing any of your settings.

I tried the debug build, and it still didn't work. That being said, I do plan on getting a new phone later this year, and since its working as expected in your builds, I'd say close this bug unless others are reporting a similar issue. Since it seems like the fix to accommodate old devices would potentially negatively impact the experience in newer devices, catering to the older devices in this case isn't worthwhile.

Sounds good. Let me know if you still have problems after upgrading your device.

Just an update on this one - once I upgraded to my Essential phone, I am no longer having this issue, so it seems like something that was just impacting some older devices.

Thanks for the update. If anyone else has this issue they should feel free to reopen the bug.
