Is there anyway to prevent the screen from being squished when entering values in a text field on a phone view in perspective?

Hopefully we'll come up with some workaround soon:

It’s not clear what the solution is because what you’re seeing is the native behavior of the Android WebView component and there is no configuration or setting to change it.

Looks like you’ve set the `position.shrink` of some of your components to `1`. Try setting to `0`

Hm that might cause troubles for small phones.  
Maybe add in a min-height (and min-width?), that would be better imho.
