On-screen keyboard does not appear in the Bindings → Search field (Nomad 2.3)

I’m experiencing an issue in Nomad Sculpt 2.3 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra running Android 16 / One UI 8.

Problem

Tapping the text field in Settings → Bindings → Search does not bring up the on-screen keyboard.

The field highlights, but the IME never appears, so I cannot type anything into it.

Every other text field in Nomad works normally (Rename, Material names, etc.).

What I’ve tested

• Happens in standard tablet mode (not DeX).

• If an external Bluetooth keyboard is connected, the Bindings → Search field accepts input normally. However, with no external keyboard connected (or when using a controller in keyboard mode), tapping the field does not summon the on-screen keyboard.

• Gboard is the default IME.

• “Show on-screen keyboard when physical keyboard is active” is enabled.

• Restarted tablet.

• All other apps’ search fields work fine.

• Tapping the field still does nothing when no external keyboard is present.

Device

Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

Android 16

One UI 8

Nomad Sculpt 2.3 (automatic update to latest version)

Expected behavior

Tapping the Search field should trigger the on-screen keyboard, just like any other Nomad input field.

Note: This started after the most recent update; it was not present previously. It appears to be an input/IME regression that affects only this specific UI element.
