Currently on version 2.1.49 and using the Anking decks. I’ve noticed that on Anki iPad that the interval buttons on the iPad keyboard (1-4) stop functioning after I reveal a hint field. This forces me to either hit the spacebar (which is defaulted to Good) or to manually tap the screen for the interval that I want. If I do not open up a hint field, then all the keys work fine. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to fix this issue?
