Describe the bug

When setting up Neo Launcher on my Pixel Line Pro XL on the most recent stable version of Android coming from no backup and being restored clean from just returning to stock ROM from grapheneOS.

When attempting to use the global app search functionality as normal, I found a strange quirk that I can replicate with 100% consistency. A video will be provided to show the flow and a backup of my config file will as well.

Steps taken:

1. Install Neo Feed, Neo Launcher - from Neo Store
2. Enable Neo Launcher as default and enable all permissions
3. Enable Neo Feed as feed provider in Neo Launcher settings
4. Attempt to activate keyboard from swipe or direct tap on search bar in app drawer.
5. No keyboard will appear no matter what one does to attempt to activate it.
6. Attempt restarting Neo Launcher
7. Attempt full reset of Neo Launcher app data
8. Issue is gone
9. Set up as before
10. Issue returns
11. Swipe to neo feed and back.
12. The keyboard will now show up
13. Open an app
14. The issue will reintroduce itself until swiping to neo feed and back once more.

Video was a bit too big and I will forget if I don't send something now.

This happens for me as well. It also causes you to not be able to adjust volume. Pixel 8 on GrapheneOS. Will be mentioning this on NeoFeeds GitHub as well, as it seems the NeoLauncher is basically dead.

Experiencing same. Pixel 9 Pro XL, identical setup in practice. Using FUTO keyboard. Swiping to Neo Feed then drawer forces keyboard. Thank you.

Edit: added gif, also happens for homescreen folder renaming.
