Android's keyboard button feature change, pops up a pop-up window instead of open the app
On android, the button at the keyboard just opens the app, but in some cases it just takes you out of what you were doing, right? For example, logging in a game, it takes you out of the game when you're trying to look for the account through the button, and when you come back you're already out! Examples: Minecraft, requires Microsoft account, obviously, proton Pass shows you your Microsoft accounts through the keyboard, but sometimes doesn't show them all, so through the button at the right you open proton Pass, the problem is that takes you out of the game, closing it, and when you finally find your account and come back, you have to start again.
This would be different, if the button opens a pop-up, a small windows like the chrome's extension on PC. Using window's already there function, the pop-up windows.

That issue happens because some Android games pause or close the login session when another app opens. When Proton Pass launches fully, the game like Minecraft resets the login screen. A practical workaround is copying credentials before switching apps or using autofill suggestions only. I found a similar discussion about launchers and login flow on https://crystallauncher.net.pl/ which explains why some sessions restart when apps change focus. Developers should improve in-game authentication handling to prevent session loss.

Ironically, that glitch is what sent me down a mobile gaming rabbit hole! While trying to fix my keyboard, I desperately needed a distraction. I remembered that classic question: do you love games where you build anything you imagine? I did, and I wanted it on my phone. After a quick, legitimate search, I found everything properly laid out at https://minecrftapp.com/. It was the perfect solution—no tricky pop-ups, just a direct path to that amazing open world, right when I needed an escape from tech bugs.
