  1. Surface 3 - keyboard covers up half of page - solutions??


    Just upgraded to windows 10 on my surface 3, the only thing, MAJOR thing that is bugging me and making me want to revert back to 8.1....

    On 8.1, the window I was using resized itself so the entire window was visible. Windows 10 has decided I don't need to see the bottom half of a page whilst I am using the keyboard.

    So if I want to type Facebook messages I have to keep opening and closing the keyboard to check what I have typed.

    I know they've had a lot of bugs to sort, but I CANNOT believe this has been overlooked.

    Tablet mode doesn't solve the problem and I don't intend to use tablet mode, it's utter garbage.

    I really hope someone has a solution! I've been trying to sort it for the last 4 hours.

    :)

  5. MetroIE and MS Edge worked well in these scenarios. Try using MS Edge

  7. Just confirmed that it works only in TABLET mode. You must be in tablet mode for the message box to appear above the keyboard. Not the whole website itself

    This is what happens when MS focuses too much on the desktop and alienating the tablet experience.
