Ionic keyboard: Cannot scroll

I know there have been posts about this before, but the solutions either did not work for me, were not terribly clear, or did not apply to my project.

I am on Ionic 5. My app has a page with several text inputs, when I have selected an input, I cannot scroll. This is causing many issues down the line as users are accidentally selecting wrong answers in other fields as they are scrolling.

This app is only being used in it’s web form, not as a PWA. This problem occurs on phone browsers only and I am unable to replicate it on PC at all.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Here’s an open issue about this I think - bug: scroll assist needs improved keyboard estimation on web · Issue #23664 · ionic-team/ionic-framework · GitHub

A workaround:

You can also disable scroll assist for now by setting scrollAssist: false in your Ionic config. This allows you to avoid this behavior while continuing to use ion-input. (source)

Otherwise, other keyboard related issues were fixed in Ionic 7 and Capacitor 5 (which sounds like you are not using, you are just using web):
