Predictive Text keyboard toolbar does not work when using Stage Manager IpadOS16

Someone had asked a similar question to mine in Oct 2022. It doesn't seem that there was any iPadOS update from Apple addressing this issue. This is a crucial piece of functionality and it still does not work. Does anyone know if there is a setting to get this functioning correctly?


When using stage manager the keyboard toolbar that shows suggested words, suggested emojis, password auto fill, passcodes auto fill etc. does not appear, so I can't access auto fill for passwords or passcodes when I am using stage manager.


This is most difficult when using an external display. The only way I can access the toolbar is by turning stage manager off and using the mirror screen.

iPad Pro (6th generation)

Hi, I’ve tried all of the above and still have the issue. It seems to be a Stage Manager bug of no Predictive Text.


Please fix!!!

Hi,


I don’t understand why these types or questions never get answered properly. I am having a similar issue, I used to always have the 3 word suggestions come up when using pages for typing and have always used a folio case with keyboard. I no longer have the 3 boxes only the in-line predictions which aren’t always as quick or fluent.


Is there a fix or a way of turning the 3 bar word feature back on? For clarity I have attached a picture of what it is that is missing. Please note that the keyboard in the picture does not stay open as soon as I hit any key on my folio keyboard. A second picture has been uploaded for what I see when using my key board.


Any help is appreciated.


Sorry for tagging on to the above question, hope that is ok.


TIA.
