I just want to make sure, but I can't conclude 100% from the cropped screenshot. Do you use gestures or navigation buttons for the system navigation? If you use gestures, is your full-screen indicator shown or hidden? Just so I know which navigation mode to test at least the theme.
Even the color of the submit button stands out a bit, as if the theme didn't apply properly. Also, have you noticed if this happens immediately after changing the wallpaper, or randomly?

I recently experienced a bug when I switched to a new ROM, where when I changed the wallpaper, the theme wasn't properly applied to Florisboard, and the colors were somehow mixed with the previous theme (from the previous wallpaper). However, I just exited the text field and dismissed the keyboard, then re-entered the typing field to make the keyboard reappear, and the theme applied properly. However, I thought this was a small bug in the new ROM, hm

This bug is actually related to the fact that the system UI helpers of Google Accompanist are not actively maintained anymore and I have to get creative once again fixing the background color. The issue is that the system navigation bar (the bar with the gesture bubble or the classic 3 buttons) is system space but apps have some sort of control over it, although it is only partially documented and not the most stable system API...

Ofc that doesn't mean there isn't an issue with the internal theme handling too, if colors within the keyboard area are messed up for instance.

Here is a screenshot of the bug occurring, took me some tries to force it (as it often times still works as intended):

And another occurrence in Spotify, here you see a very good demonstration that keyboards in Android basically just overdraw the app:

Yes I am using gestures on my device.

I get that it’s tough with the Google Accompanist system UI helpers not being maintained anymore. It sounds like a real challenge to come up with creative fixes for the background color issue. Your efforts to sort this out despite those hurdles are really appreciated, Patrick 🥹

I checked the internal theme handling and found a small "issue". When changing the theme while the keyboard is open, some material you colors from the previous wallpaper, mix with the new wallpaper's colors. However, closing and opening the keyboard fixes the issue. So, not a big deal I guess
