Title:
  [SDK] auto-scroll input fields when OSK visibility changes

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently when you select in an input field, it causes the osk to be
  displayed. If the field is located beneath the osk it is obscured.
  Currently many of the apps have to write special code to handle the
  osk visiblilty and handle scrolling of the field. This should be done
  automatically by the sdk if the app opt's in somehow.

  Here is a pointer to code in lp:phone-app that makes the input filed
  for sending text messages scroll based on osk visibility. Same is
  repeated in webbrowser-app:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/phone-app/trunk/view/head:/src/qml/DetailViewCommunication/CommunicationView.qml#L235

  You basically anchor the KeyboardRectangle item to the bottom of your view, and then the contents you want to scroll you anchor to the top of the KeyboardRectangle. This KeyboardRectangle is a normal item that has the size of the virtual keyboard.
  When the keyboard is visible it has the height of the keyboard, when the keyboard is hidden, it has a height of 0

  UX Solution
  The solution identified by Florian above is 100% correct
