On-screen keyboard leaves map blank.

If the on-screen keyboard on my iPad is used, the underlying map is corrupted and no longer shows layers.

I was able to re-produce in the Examples project by adding a textfield to the PopupElementHeader.swift file to get the keyboard to display.

EDIT: The map is still there, but is panned/zoomed to Antartica

struct PopupElementHeader: View {
let title: String
let description: String
@State var text = "Hello" // DUANE P: ADDED State var

var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
// DUANE P: ADDED TEXT FIELD SO KEYBOARD DISPLAYS
TextField("Work Needed", text: $text)
.frame(maxWidth:.infinity, alignment: .leading).padding(5).background(Color(UIColor.systemBackground)).border(.gray).cornerRadius(7)
// Text views with empty text still take up some vertical space in
// a view, so conditionally check for an empty title and description.
if !title.isEmpty {
Text(title)
.multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
.font(.title2)
.foregroundColor(.primary)
}

if !description.isEmpty {
Text(description)
.multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
.font(.subheadline)
.foregroundColor(.secondary)
}
}
.padding([.bottom], 4)
}
}

Hi Duane, thank you for reaching out and reporting this! From what you've described above, this resembles a known issue that we're working on addressing. In the meantime, I can suggest two different workarounds.

Use the `.ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard, edges: .bottom)` modifier on your map view
Use the `.padding([.bottom], 0.1)` modifier on the highest level view in your heiherchy before your map view. (0.1 is a good amount because it is practically invisible).

Hopefully one of these two workarounds will work for you in the meantime. I've attached a modified version of your code with my workarounds commented out for you to experiment with.

Work around 1 seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
