Touch keyboard on float - browser scrolls page down if input focus will be obscured by keyboard

Reported by timothyc...@gmail.com, Nov 2 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2902.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enable windows touch keyboard input to appear when an input field is selected
2. Use keyboard in floating mode, as opposed to fixed.
3. Position floating keyboard over a text input on a web page with a dark background
4. Close keyboard
5. Select the text input
6. See that the page is forced to scroll down and if page is not scrollable, the browser will append some whitespace (or background colour) to the bottom of the page

What is the expected behavior?
We noticed that this behaviour only started appearing after Chromium 53. 
Since this feels like a makeshift solution to the problem, we would like behaviour to be controlled by an --enable or --disable flag

What went wrong?
This looks bad on using Chromium on --kiosk mode as a full screen kiosk

Did this work before? Yes 52

Does this work in other browsers? No
 Firefox does not seem to have this approach
Edge does have this approach

Chrome version: 53  Channel: stable
OS Version: Windows 10

Tested on windows 10 using chrome stable M54 #54.0.2840.97 and steps followed to reproduce:

1. Opened "www.apple.com\hk" in chrome browser.
2. touch keyboard was enabled and is in floating mode and placed over the text area of the web page.
3. Typed some text and closed the keyboard and selected the text.
4. Page didnt force to scroll down and no different behavior is observed.


@timothyc-- Could you please confirm us whether we followed correct process ?? and possible please provide us the screencast to reproduce the issue , that would help us in triaging the issue better.

Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the feedback.

The behaviour was produced on a windows tablet, maybe it is limited to touch only?

After your step 3, do you mean that the keyboard reappears in the same position as before you minimized it (over the input field), but no scrolling occurs?

Will get a screencast tomorrow.

Thanks
Yes, I believe the behaviour is only on touch devices.

Attached is the screencast.

Thanks
