I think it we disabled the keyboard earlier. This is supposed to be intended functionality but I don't know there has been a new discussion about it recently.

When we edit a comment, edit box will scroll down towards the composer and we decided not to open the keyboard due to this. But if keyboard is still opening on other devices then yes this is a real issue.
