> When using a textbox component on an Android tablet, the keyboard rapidly flashes on the screen, rendering it unusable. I initially thought this was an issue because I had them typing with the stylus on the on-screen keyboard, then clicking the next button to end the routine. I tried changing it so that there is no mouse component. Instead, they end the routine by pressing the enter key. That did not help. The keyboard still rapidly flashes.

Mine has been to put the editable textbox in the top half of the screen.
