# Bug Report
## Problem
A brief visual glitch occurs during keyboard (IME) animations where the app
background becomes visible temporarily.
This appears to have been introduced in #1924, which was resolving an issue
where the WebView was not fully scrollable when the IME keyboard was open.
Based on initial investigation, the behavior may be related to the WebView
being resized while the IME is still animating, which can temporarily expose
the underlying window background.
The issue is more noticeable when there is a strong contrast between the
app's background and the web content's (for example, a light web page
background over a dark application background defined via configuration
preferences).
### What is expected to happen?
During the keyboard animations, the WebView should remain fully visible.
### What does actually happen?
During the keyboard animations, the app's background is briefly visible,
which appears as a visual glitch.
## Information
<!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and
reproduce the problem -->
- Create a long page with multiple input elements (so the page is
scrollable).
- This step may not be necessary to reproduce the visual glitch, but it is
important when addressing the issue as we need to continue to ensure the
WebView remains scrollable and can reach the bottom of the page (rather than
being hidden by the IME).
- Set the web page's background to a light color (e.g. white).
- Set the application background color to a dark color using `config.xml`:
```xml
<preference name="BackgroundColor" value="#000000" />
```
- Build and run the application on an Android device.
- Focus on an input field to trigger opening of the keyboard.
