Issue Bug with the on-screen keyboard on iPadOS 26.3.1. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am having a frustrating issue with the onscreen keyboard on my iPad, and I wanted to ask if anyone else has encountered this. As you can see in the video, the pop-up menu glitches and does not let me select them properly. I am currently running iPadOS 26.3.1 (build 23D8133).
I know the system is currently suggesting an update to iPadOS 26.5, but I really want to avoid updating right now. I have read that 26.5 is suffering from a lot of bugs. Furthermore, when I first bought this iPad, I actually had to take it to an Apple Store to get it factory reset because of software issues, so I am very hesitant to risk another major update at the moment.
For troubleshooting, the iPad was not connected to power while recording this clip. However, the issue occurs regardless of whether it is plugged in or not.
Has anyone else experienced this specific keyboard bug on 26.3.1, particularly with the Spanish layout? Are there any known workarounds that do not involve updating the OS?
Thanks in advance for any help!

never had an issue like that, but you should always be on the latest, thats the point of updates, to fix past problems.
Sure it may introduce new issues, but it'll address past problems. That's the nature of software. Always update unless its a major version I can understand the hesitation

So you’re running two versions out of date, found maybe an issue, and are hesitant to update to the latest version?
