Have you had issues with the YouTube app where you can't comment on Shorts because the text input box is missing?
For whatever reason, it is placed behind your phone's navigation bar. If you go to "Display > Navigation bar" in your Android settings (or your device's equivalent) and change the Navigation type from "Navigation buttons" to "Full screen gestures", the navigation bar will become transparent and you'll see that the YT Shorts comment bar is right where the navigation bar is.
There are a number of problems with this. No offense to anyone using Full screen gestures, but I prefer a button-based navigation bar that responds with a simple tap input within its own dedicated area on the screen. This is especially true on an app like YouTube that constantly pushes ads out of nowhere that respond to even the slightest misclick, more so than the actual videos posted by legitimate channels. You shouldn't need to disable your button-based navigation bar, or ANY phone settings, just to access a feature as fundamental as posting a comment.
What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below, because at least this comment section works! Unless you have keyboard freezing issues...which will be coming in another poll!
