[Bug]: Keyboard sometimes does not pop up

[freebrowser1]

Problem description

When using 'midnight commander' (mc) and there is no onscreen keyboard popped up, the keyboard cannot be popped up when clicking on the cursor bottom left.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Load Termux.

Load mc (can be installed by apt install mc).

Remove the onscreen keyboard, how to do that is dependant on which keyboard is used. I use 'Multiling-O' 1.02 as this one already contains 'terminal friendly keys' such as Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, etc.' so it does not need the extra-keys setting which consumes precious screen space.

Then two panes will be shown with the current folder with a cursor bottom left. Click on the cursor bottom left.

What is the expected behavior?

Keyboard should pop up as in any other case in Termux when clicking on the cursor, but does not when mc is active. It does not pop up in both full screen mode and the mode with the Android notification bar on top.

System information

• Termux application version: 0.118
• Android OS version: 10.6
• Device model: Oneplus 6

I have the same problem with micro, I just configured an extra key to show/hide the keyboard.
