        I just had a call on whatsapp web on my laptop (linux, firefox) and it was the same very poor sound quality - so I think it is not a problem with UT but rather with linux and whatsapp web...

          I've released a new version:

          V0.1.3:

          • Rebranding to "Whatsnew"
          • Fix searching in messages and contacts
          • Calibrate keyboard height so that message edit area displays well on top of the keyboard in all cases
          • Fix scaling of "Medias" panel (added recently by whatsapp)
          • Fix 1px space at the left of chatlist

          @mihael

          Can you go back to your previous keyboard configuration that did not work well before, then update the app to see if it works better?

          If you customize another time the keyboard, you will have to remove the app data with Ubuntu Tweaks, to recalibrate the keyboard OR do

          rm ~/.config/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent.conf
          

          By the way I have renamed the app to Whatsnew but its ID will remain "whatslectron.pparent", cos it's not possible to change easilly

            Now it is perfect! It auto-adjusted itself to the full height of the keyboard! Wow and thank you!

              I have KDE Connect on my UT and UB Connect on my UT phone. When I receive a notifcation in Whatsnew on the phone, my linux desktop displays it as well but as comming from "pparent" instead of coming from "Whatsnew".

                Probably a bug in Kdeconnect. Cos the notifications are for the app "whatslectron.pparent", if it uses "pparent" as the app name, then its not normal, its the publisher name. If you take Teleports the app name is "teleports.ubports", what name does it display for the notifications in your kdeconnect?

                      Thank's for reporting I will look into it. I will probably publish a new version soon, with few fixes.

                      Ps: note thought that it will always come back after erasing your datas, and sometimes when updating the app (if the update requires it).

                        hello,
                        I notice that the keyboard already return to 'letters' after juste one 'number' is tape. not realy practical.
                        It is specificaly on whatsnews and signal.
                        Is it juste for me ? or a parameter for the keyboard.
                        It seems to me that the keyboard is specific in these apps ?

                          I cannot reproduce your issue with the microphone page. If I click on disallow forever the page does not appear anymore without doing any mic permission request. Do you have a different result? Can you explain more what you are doing? Thank's!

                          Ha ok I understand It's a layout issue, I will slightly squeeze the size of the elements, so the problem should be solved for you in next release.
