MESSAGE ATTACHMENT BUG ON LOLLIPOP

[Tasfique]

When i click the attach button on message the keyboard pops up, hence i can't select anything to attach on the message body.

Try settings-apps-all-messages,force stop and clear data. Restart your device. Make sure you have a backup of your messages.

Hi Tasfique

Are you tapping right on the paperclip rather than the area that says 'Write message'?

[Tasfique]

Yes I am tapping on the paper clip

[Tasfique]

Tried it, same issue. Is it just me or others on lollipop facing the same issue?

@Hampus @Johan could you take a look? 

[Hampus]

It works fine for me, do you experience this for all your conversations and/or a new text message? And by the look of your screenshots, it looks like you are using a third party keyboard. Could you try to change to Xperia Keyboard to see if you experience the same behaviour? Otherwise, try to boot the phone into safe mode to see if same thing happens:

I am using Google keyboard, even with Xperia keyboard same thing happens. This issue persist when writing new message or reply to a message etc... I can see the attachment menu for a mili second then it gets covered by the keyboard

[Hampus]

And what about safe mode? Did you also try to boot the phone into safe mode?

[Tasfique]

Yep tried it on safe mode too. Here is a video of the problem
